AI Summary
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to address certain vehicle equipment violations and fines. It prohibits the sale, offering for sale, or installation of devices such as "cut-outs" or "bypass" mechanisms that would amplify or increase the noise emitted by a vehicle's motor or exhaust system above the original factory-installed levels. The bill also increases the fines for violations related to illegal motorcycle exhaust modifications, and allows the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to suspend or revoke the license or certificate of an official vehicle inspection station for repeated failures to properly inspect motorcycle exhaust systems. The bill aims to address concerns about excessive noise from modified vehicle exhaust systems.
