A Maui County Council committee unanimously voted to send a bill increasing fines for loud vehicle sound systems to the full Council, despite some members questioning its effectiveness.
- The bill would increase monetary penalties for vehicle noise violations while removing a previously proposed vehicle forfeiture clause.
- Maui Police and the Prosecuting Attorney’s office support the amended version with higher fines.
- No vehicle noise citations were issued in 2024, leading some council members to question the bill’s necessity.
- Council members expressed concerns about enforcement priorities and potential consequences of unpaid fines on drivers.
