Vehicle Laws - Noise Abatement Monitoring Systems Pilot Program - Inspection and Extension

This bill extends the pilot program for noise-abatement monitoring systems in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, which use technology to detect excessive vehicle noise (like loud exhausts) and issue warnings or citations. It modifies inspection rules to require county officials to allow public access to recorded images from these systems under specific circumstances, similar to traffic monitoring systems. Counties must report annually by December 1, 2027, on costs, citations issued, system effectiveness, and locations used. The pilot program will end automatically on June 30, 2028, without needing further legislative action.
