This bill would require trucks to have better safety guards on their rear and sides to prevent smaller vehicles from sliding underneath them in crashes, which can be fatal. The measure aims to reduce underride accidents—where cars get trapped beneath large trucks—by setting stricter safety standards that truck manufacturers and owners would need to follow. The changes would primarily affect trucking companies and vehicle manufacturers while potentially saving lives among passenger vehicle drivers.
