AI Summary
This bill aims to update regulations regarding motorcycle exhaust system sound levels in Massachusetts by amending Section 7U of Chapter 90 of the General Laws. Specifically, it mandates that all motorcycles manufactured after December 31, 1982, must comply with exhaust system labeling requirements found in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.), sections 205.158 and 205.169, with this labeling needing to be easily visible for inspection. The bill also establishes a tiered fine system for violations: an initial offense will result in a $250 fine, a second offense will incur a $500 fine, and a third offense will lead to a $1,000 fine.
