URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT (UPDATE)
Hawaii Bill to Ban Most Aftermarket Exhaust Systems Dead for the Year
Legislation (H.B. 1093) to prohibit the use, sale or installation of an exhaust system “that has been changed or modified from the factory design so as to increase the volume or audibility of the explosions within the vehicle’s motor” died for the year when the Legislature adjourned. The bill would have required that safety inspection stations perform a test to ensure that a vehicle conforms to the law. Fines for noncompliance would have ranged from $100 to $500 for each offense. The bill is eligible for consideration in 2016.
Thank you to those that participated in opposing this bill.
