Bill > HR141

This bill amends existing highway safety law by expanding state highway safety programs to include more comprehensive trailer safety education and prevention efforts. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 402 of Title 23 of the United States Code to require states to develop programs that prevent improper and unsafe use of light-duty and medium-duty trailers, and educate the public about required safety equipment and preventive maintenance for trailers. By adding this language to existing law, the bill aims to improve trailer safety by ensuring that state highway safety programs provide clear guidance and information to trailer owners and users about how to safely operate and maintain their trailers, potentially reducing accidents and improving road safety.
