DATE'. June 18, 1986 COO^
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 1801 (Robinson)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 1801 by Assemblyman Robinson.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, the California Supreme Court has determined
that airport noise is a continuing nuisance. As a result,
property owners affected by the airport noise can sue the airport
an unlimited number of times. This results in the potential for
never-ending lawsuits and substantial legal costs.
Assemblyman Robinson has introduced AB 1801 in an effort to
overturn the Supreme Court decision. This bill declares that
airport noise is a permanent nuisance rather than a continuing
nuisance. This would limit lawsuits to a single suit over the
existing level of noise and would prohibit further lawsuits
unless it can be shown that there has been a substantial increase
in noise, or other adverse environmental effects, caused by the
operation of an airport.
The Airport Manager strongly recommends that the Board support AB
1801 and this office concurs in this recommendation.
