The Jefferson County Quorum Court passed a noise ordinance during Monday's meeting to prohibit unreasonably loud noises and disturbance of the peace. A similar ordinance remains in effect for the city of Pine Bluff, but outside of the city limits no ordinance exists, according to Jefferson County Sheriff Lafayette Woods Jr.
The first Quorum Court Committee meeting of the year was short and safely conducted virtually through Zoom because of the heightened number of confirmed covid-19 cases.
