The purpose of this bill is to avoid the noise from a vehicle's backup warning beeper late at night or early morning hours and still maintain a measure of safety for persons behind a reversing vehicle by permitting vehicles to turn off the noise warning system from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., if the vehicle is equipped with a rearview camera system that operates whenever the vehicle is reversing.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.
