E2SSB 5955: Mitigating harm and improving equity in large port districts.

What this bill does

Establishes, through July 1, 2029, a grant program managed by the Department of Commerce to provide assistance to port districts that undertake noise mitigation programs for expenses related to repairing or replacing noise mitigation equipment that is not working as intended, or to addressing hazards and structural damage that occurred due to previously installed noise mitigation equipment. Allows port districts that choose to conduct a program to repair or replace noise mitigation equipment that is not working as intended to either contract directly with building inspectors or professionals with relevant experience, or to enter into an interlocal agreement with a county to provide such individuals, for the purpose of conducting inspections to determine whether the equipment has caused other hazards or structural damage.
