Plain-English Summary
This bill would require trucks to have better safety guards on their rear, sides, and front to prevent smaller vehicles from sliding underneath them during crashes. The measure aims to reduce deaths and injuries from underride accidents, which occur when cars get trapped under large trucks, and would apply safety standards to manufacturers of heavy trucks and trailers across the country.
