The bill stops the state health department, counties, cities and public health districts from requiring noise permits, charging noise fees, or banning delivery noise at restaurants and other food service establishments for late-night deliveries. It covers deliveries of food, nonalcoholic drinks, food service supplies or ice that last one hour or less between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., as long as the noise stays at or below 75 dBA measured from the closest home. Restaurants get a statewide shield for short overnight deliveries, and local governments lose the power to regulate that noise below the set limit starting September 1, 2025.
