PA HB2069

Municipalities may install automated vehicle noise enforcement systems using stationary cameras and decibel meters at designated intersections, subject to PennDOT approval and local ordinance adoption

Violations carry a $100 fine per occurrence; fines are civil penalties that do not result in criminal conviction, license points, or insurance surcharges

Citations must be mailed within 30 days to registered vehicle owners, who may contest liability through informal hearings with appeal rights to magisterial district judges

Privacy protections prohibit frontal vehicle images, require destruction of recorded images within 30 days of case disposition, and exempt violation records from Right-to-Know requests

Municipalities are capped at collecting no more than 5% of their annual budget from noise enforcement fines; the program expires five years after enactment
