Bill Summary

A BILL To amend subchapter II of chapter 301 of title 49, United States Code, to require that all new covered motorcoaches have a minimally obstructed forward-facing view from the driver’s seat, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Safe Intersections for Buses and Pedestrians Act," aims to improve safety by requiring that all new motorcoaches, which are large passenger buses, manufactured for sale in the United States must provide drivers with a clear, unobstructed view directly in front of the vehicle from their seat. Within one year of the law's enactment, the Secretary of Transportation, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), will establish specific safety standards to achieve this. Importantly, the bill allows for exceptions if a motorcoach uses technology, such as cameras, to ensure the driver has this clear forward view, especially in areas that might otherwise be obstructed, and that this technology complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 101, which deals with controls and displays.
