Bill > HB05358

This bill proposes to amend an existing statute in Connecticut's general statutes, specifically section 14-80a, to prohibit the sale of devices that are designed to increase the noise emitted by a vehicle. The primary purpose of the bill is to reduce noise pollution on roadways by preventing the sale of aftermarket sound amplification equipment that can make vehicles louder. By targeting the sale of these devices, the legislation aims to address the public nuisance of excessive vehicle noise, which can be disruptive to neighborhoods and communities. The bill appears to be a straightforward regulatory measure that focuses on preventing the commercial distribution of noise-amplifying automotive devices, rather than targeting the use of such devices that may already be installed on vehicles.
