What it does
The bill requires the Department of Transportation to finalize, within 18 months, safety standards requiring side underride guards on new trailers, semitrailers, and single unit trucks so passenger vehicles and other road users cannot slide underneath them in a crash, with full compliance due within 2 years. It also requires reconvening the advisory committee on underride protection with more members and meetings, a public website of underride research and crash data updated quarterly, and outside studies on truck-front crashes, the existing rear guard rule, and police reporting practices.
