size=5>Massachusetts Bill to Ban the Sale/Installation
of Aftermarket Exhaust Systems to be Considered by Joint
Transportation Committee on Oct. 2</FONT>
</P> A bill (H.B. 3574) 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 reintroduced by Rep.
Liz Malia and several cosponsors (list below) and will
be considered by the Massachusetts Joint Transportation
Committee on October 2nd. The bill excludes
limited-use “antique motor cars” from its scope - a
clear attempt by the bill’s sponsors to divide the
automobile hobby in an effort to gain clearer sailing
for this restrictive and damaging piece of
legislation.
<BR><STRONG>We Urge You to Contact the Members of the
Joint Transportation Committee (List Below) Immediately
to Request Their Opposition to H.B. 3574</STRONG><BR>
<UL>
<LI>H.B. 3574 ignores the fact that aftermarket
exhaust systems are designed to make vehicles run more
efficiently without increasing emissions.
<LI>H.B. 3574 does not supply law enforcement with a
clear standard to enforce, allowing them to make
subjective judgments on whether or not a modified
exhaust system is in violation.
<LI>H.B. 3574 fails to recognize that aftermarket
exhaust systems offer increased performance, which can
make a vehicle safer by improving its ability to
merge, pass, travel uphill, etc.
<LI>H.B. 3574 would make it difficult for hobbyists to
replace factory exhaust systems with more durable,
better performing options.
<LI> H.B. 3574 would only exclude “antique motor
cars” defined as those vehicles over 25-years old
which are used exclusively for exhibitions, club
activities, parades, etc.</LI></UL><STRONG>DON’T
DELAY! Please contact members of the Massachusetts
Joint Transportation Committee immediately by phone or
e-mail to request their opposition to H.B. 3574.
