Chapter 6. Assistance To Local Agencies of California Health And Safety Code >> Division 28. >> Chapter 6.

It is the purpose of this chapter to encourage the enactment and enforcement of local ordinances in those areas which are most properly the responsibility of local government. It is further the purpose to insure that the state is of maximum assistance to local agencies in the discharge of those responsibilities, furnishing technical and legal expertise to assist local agencies in the enactment and enforcement of meaningful and technically sufficient noise abatement measures.

The office shall provide technical assistance to local agencies in combating noise pollution. Such assistance shall include but not be limited to:
  (a) Advice concerning methods of noise abatement and control.
  (b) Advice on training of noise control personnel.
  (c) Advice on selection and operation of noise abatement equipment.

The office shall provide assistance to local agencies in the preparation of model ordinances to control and abate noise.

Any local agency which adopts any noise control ordinance shall promptly furnish a copy to the office.
