AI Summary
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to address certain equipment violations and fines related to motor vehicle mufflers and exhaust systems. It prohibits the sale, offering for sale, or installation of devices that amplify or increase noise from a vehicle's motor or exhaust system above the original factory-installed level. Violations of these provisions are subject to higher fines of up to $1,000 or 30 days imprisonment. The bill also increases the penalties for violations related to motorcycle exhaust systems, and allows the Commissioner to suspend or revoke the license of vehicle inspection stations that repeatedly fail to properly inspect motorcycle exhaust systems.
