A.__Except as provided in section 13112, a person may not:

(1)__Operate a snowmobile that exceeds the noise limits for that snowmobile established in paragraph B; or

(2)__Modify a snowmobile in a manner that amplifies or otherwise increases total noise emission above that emitted by the snowmobile as originally constructed, regardless of the date of manufacture.

A person who violates this paragraph commits a civil violation for which a forfeiture of not less than $100 nor more than $500 may be adjudged.

B.__The following noise levels are established:

(1)__Every snowmobile manufactured after February 1, 1975, and offered for sale or sold in this State must be constructed to limit total vehicle noise to not more than 78 decibels of sound pressure level at 50 feet on the "A" scale, as measured by the SAE standards J-192;

(2)__Snowmobiles manufactured after October 1, 1973, but on or before February 1, 1975, and offered for sale or sold in this State must be constructed to limit the total vehicle noise to not more than 82 decibels of sound pressure level at 50 feet on the "A" scale, as measured by the SAE standards J-192; and

(3)__Snowmobiles manufactured on or before October 1, 1973 are not subject to a specific noise level, except that they may not be modified in violation of this subsection.

15.__Operating snowmobile with insufficient lights.__Except as provided in section 13112, a person may not operate a snowmobile that is not equipped as follows:
