New Jersey S2158 mandates underride protection systems on commercial motor vehicles and public awareness campaigns.
New Jersey S2158 requires commercial motor vehicles registered in the state to be equipped with underride protection systems, which are designed to prevent vehicles from sliding under large trucks and buses. The bill imposes fines for operating such vehicles without these systems. Additionally, it mandates the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to establish a public awareness campaign to inform the public about the dangers of underrides and safe practices to avoid them. The campaign includes distributing printed and electronic materials at public venues and online.
