What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Limiting Intense Glare for Highway and Two-lane Safety Act," directs the Secretary of Transportation to update safety standards. The Secretary must issue a final rule within one year of the Act's enactment. This rule aims to revise Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 108. The primary goal is to establish a maximum allowable brightness standard for low beam headlamps on motor vehicles. This standard will be expressed in lumens or another appropriate photometric measurement.
