City of Frederick, Montgomery County, and Prince George's County - Noise Abatement Monitoring Systems - Authorization and Extension

HB 948 authorizes the City of Frederick to use noise abatement monitoring systems to enforce motor vehicle noise laws, while extending existing programs in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. The bill allows local jurisdictions to deploy up to three fixed or mobile systems after public hearings, requiring online posting of locations and visible signage. Systems must automatically capture license plates, decibel levels exceeding limits by 5dB, and audio recordings, with a review process for disputed citations. This directly affects vehicle owners in these areas who may receive citations and local law enforcement agencies managing the monitoring programs.
