Hawaii Introduces Bill to Set Noise Emission Levels

 

DON’T DELAY!  Please Voice Your Opposition for H.B. 1728 immediately from Hawaii House Transportation Committee (Full List Below) by emailing now:

You may use the following points in your message:

  • H.B. 1728 fails to recognize that the U.S. EPA has no noise emissions standards for passenger cars and trucks, only motorcycles  
     
  • H.B. 1728 provides no test by which vehicles would be tested.  Many states have established noise limits for modified exhaust systems, for example, based on an easy to administer objective test standard (SAE J1169) to a fair noise limit of 95-decibels.     

Overview:  Legislation (H.B. 1728) to allow the state director of transportation to adopt regulations to establish permissible noise emission levels for motor vehicles in accordance with approved U.S. EPA standards has been introduced.  The bill will be considered by the House Transportation Committee.
