Summary

The bill permits the City of Frederick – and similarly Montgomery and Prince George’s counties – to install up to three mobile or fixed sensors that automatically record sound levels, photos, and video of vehicles that exceed the legal noise limit by at least 5 decibels. It applies to registered owners and long‑term lessees, and requires public notice, signage, and a designated official to review any warning or citation. The aim is to improve compliance with Maryland’s motor‑vehicle noise standards.
