Bill > HB2359

This bill, known as "Felicity's Law", establishes new safety requirements for ice cream trucks operating in Missouri. The legislation mandates that every ice cream truck (defined as a motorized vehicle selling ready-to-eat frozen confections) must be equipped with specific safety devices, including a front passenger side-mounted wide-angle convex mirror, a reverse backup alarm loud enough to be heard over surrounding noise, a rear-mounted mirror or camera for back visibility, and either a front-mounted obstacle detection system or a four-foot crossing arm that remains extended while the truck is parked. The safety equipment must be actively used whenever the ice cream truck is in operation, and trucks must also display a rear-facing "Caution" or "Watch for Children" sign at least one square foot in size. These requirements aim to enhance safety for children and pedestrians around ice cream trucks by providing drivers with better visibility and warning mechanisms to prevent potential accidents.
