LEAVE Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Low-frequency Energetic Acoustics and Vibrations Exasperate Act or the LEAVE Act
This bill establishes standards and remedies related to ground-based noise (GBN).
Specifically, the bill
- permits one or more states to conduct studies of GBN from aircraft operations at an airport within a state,
- requires any study conducted to identify a baseline value of GBN above which an airport in the study is presumed to be permitting an excess of noise to a community within five miles of such airport,
- allows a state cause of action for GBN if a state has undertaken a study of GBN at an airport, and
- establishes that no federal statute is intended to preempt a cause of action against an airport in any state small claims or superior court when an action is brought for GBN in violation of state standards.
