H.R. 141

Summary

This bill requires state highway safety programs to address trailer safety equipment, preventive maintenance, and proper usage of light and medium-duty trailers. By incorporating trailer safety into federally-supported highway safety programs, the legislation aims to reduce accidents caused by improperly maintained or equipped trailers. This includes boat trailers, utility trailers, and similar light-duty trailers commonly used by consumers that may lack the safety oversight applied to commercial vehicles.
