Attention Residents of MA and neighboring states.
Massachusetts bill to ban the sale of aftermarket exhaust systems on the move.
After being stalled by SEMA in 2005, a bill (H.B. 2011) to ban the sale or installation of “an exhaust system which has been modified in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the exhaust” was approved by the Massachusetts Joint Transportation Committee. As you might recall, the bill had been revised from previous versions to exclude limited-use “antique motor cars.”
This amendment represents a clear attempt by the bill’s sponsor to divide the automobile hobby in an effort to gain clearer sailing for this restrictive and damaging piece of legislation. H.B. 2011 has now been referred to the House Steering, Policy and Scheduling Committee. More information available atSemasan.com . For details, contact Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org.
