H.R.9297

Pedestrian Protection Act establishes safety standards for motor vehicles to reduce pedestrian collisions.

The Pedestrian Protection Act amends title 49, United States Code, to establish safety standards and disclosure requirements for motor vehicles to protect pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. The Secretary of Transportation must initiate a rulemaking process to establish minimum visibility standards for motor vehicles, considering features like hood, bumper, and windshield design. The final rule must be issued within two years of initiating the rulemaking process.
