City officials of Laguna Beach, California, voiced their support last week for a state bill that would address noise created by vehicles with illegally modified exhaust, in hopes that Gov. Gavin Newsom will sign it into law by the end of the month.
“Every Californian deserves to live in a community that is free from noise pollution that negatively impacts health and quality of life,” said bill author Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Irvine), whose district covers Laguna Beach, in a Sept. 14 statement. “We’re … adding an enforcement mechanism to ensure that violators are actually required to fix these illegal modifications and eliminate noise pollution.”
