Bill Summary

For legislation to clarify the definition, testing regulations and enforcement of motorcycle sound emissions. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to clarify the rules surrounding motorcycle noise by updating existing law, specifically Section 16 of Chapter 90. It proposes to add a new provision stating that when determining if a motorcycle is too loud, authorities should use the definitions, testing procedures, and maximum sound limits outlined in other sections of Chapter 90, namely Sections 7T, 7S, and 7U. This means that instead of relying on a general description of modified exhaust systems that increase noise, the enforcement will now be based on specific, established standards for motorcycle sound emissions.
