SF 2034 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the use of automated vehicle noise enforcement systems.

This bill prohibits local authorities from issuing citations based on noise detected by automated systems when a vehicle's brakes or exhaust are used while slowing down. It defines "automated vehicle noise enforcement systems" as cameras paired with noise sensors that capture vehicles exceeding noise limits. Citations issued in violation of this rule would be void and unenforceable. The bill directly affects how cities enforce noise ordinances on moving vehicles, specifically preventing penalties for normal deceleration sounds.
