Bill Summary
This bill prohibits local authorities from issuing a citation for a violation detected by an automated vehicle noise enforcement system, as defined in the bill, based on noise emitted from the use of a vehicle’s brake or exhaust system while the vehicle is reducing speed. A citation issued in violation of the bill is void and unenforceable.
AI Summary
This bill, specifically Section 1, establishes new rules for how local authorities can use automated vehicle noise enforcement systems, which are defined as devices that combine cameras with noise measuring tools to detect and record vehicles exceeding noise limits. The key provision is that local authorities are prohibited from issuing citations for noise violations detected by these systems if the noise originates from a vehicle's brake or exhaust system while the vehicle is slowing down. Any citation issued in defiance of this rule will be considered invalid and cannot be enforced.
