SEMA-model legislation (H. 854) has been introduced in Vermont to create a fair testing procedure for vehicle owners accused of exhaust noise violations. The bill implements the Society of Automotive Engineers standards for testing of exhaust noise levels. Under the legislation, a vehicle cannot be in violation of the 95-decibel exhaust noise limit unless it has been tested under these fair standards.

The bill currently awaits consideration in the House Transportation Committee.
