SB312

Hawaii SB312 mandates the use of broadband reversing alarms for certain vehicles to reduce noise pollution and enhance safety.

Hawaii SB312 aims to transition to safer and less disruptive audible reverse warning systems for commercial and construction vehicles. The bill requires the use of broadband reversing alarms, which are more effective at alerting people to reversing vehicles compared to traditional tonal alarms. This change is intended to reduce urban noise pollution and prevent accidents. The new requirement applies to state-owned vehicles purchased after January 1, 2028, including earthmoving and compacting equipment.
