Montana SB264 eliminates a defense to the vehicle noise statute by removing the reasonable belief exception.
Montana SB264 amends the vehicle noise statute by removing the defense that allows a person charged with violating the statute to claim they had reasonable grounds to believe the vehicle was not in violation. The bill specifies that the statute does not apply to motorcycles or quadricycles governed by another section. This change ensures that individuals cannot avoid conviction by claiming they reasonably believed their vehicle was compliant with noise standards.
