Bill > S1531

This bill, the "Take Unsafe Limos Off the Road Act," would amend Title 49 of the United States Code to establish a grant program for the safety of stretch limousines. The key provisions include: 1. Defining a "stretch limousine" as a passenger motor vehicle that has been modified to increase the wheelbase and seat at least 9 passengers, including the driver. 2. Providing grants to states that have enacted and are enforcing laws requiring the impoundment or immobilization of stretch limousines found to have safety defects during inspection. 3. Allowing states to use the grant funds for impounding or immobilizing unsafe stretch limousines, establishing and operating designated stretch limousine safety inspection sites, and training employees to inspect stretch limousines. 4. Authorizing $5 million in annual appropriations for the grant program from fiscal years 2021 through 2024. The goal of this bill is to improve the safety of stretch limousines by incentivizing states to enact and enforce laws targeting unsafe vehicles and providing funding for related enforcement and inspection activities.
