Proposed County Noise Ordinance Raises Noise on Social Media

A proposed noise ordinance in Miller County has some county citizens wanting to make some noise of their own. A planned prayer event will be held on the courthouse lawns at the next Quorum Court Meeting on March 13.

An ordinance proposed by the Quorum Court and currently under review would place noise level restrictions in the county on all citizens.  According to the ordinance, a violation will be “noise that is excessive, unnecessary, or unusually loud within the confines of Miller County which could annoy, disturb, injure, or endanger the comfort, peace, safety, or health of its residents or other persons.” The proposal lists potential fines starting with the first offense set at two hundred and fifty dollars.  The proposal does offer exemptions for certain events, including church meetings, athletic events, parades, as well as events obtaining an exemption.
