State representative introduces bill to police excessive noise from modified cars METRO DETROIT — A new bill introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives aims to curb excessive noise from vehicles. The legislation, House Bill 5696, was introduced by state Rep. Natalie Price, D-Berkley, and would “crack down on vehicles intentionally modified to create excessive noise while being used,” a press release states.
Price said the legislation will update the vehicle code and allow local law enforcement to enforce the current prohibition on modifying a vehicle to cause it to make excessive noise. “We’re well aware of the issue of modified vehicles and drag racing on our roads,” Birmingham Police Chief Scott Grewe said in a press release. “Existing law limits what we can do about it, and unfortunately, the current $100-peroffense civil infractions do not seem to deter this behavior.
