An act relating to miscellaneous changes related to vehicles, infrastructure, and transportation planning

This bill introduces several updates to Vermont laws covering vehicle safety, emissions, and transportation planning. It strengthens rules against modified exhaust systems that increase noise or fumes, establishes stricter child restraint requirements for passengers under 18, and mandates public outreach campaigns to educate drivers about idling and car seat safety. The legislation also requires highways to provide pedestrian and bicycle access by December 1, 2023, while updating related permits and landscaping standards. These changes directly affect vehicle owners, parents, drivers, and transportation planners across the state.
