Safety Technology Bill Proposed in Senate

Like the identical bill proposed in the House of Representatives in May, Stabenow’s legislation would give fleets tax credits for brake-stroke monitoring systems, lane-departure warning systems, collision warning systems and vehicle-stability systems.

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, which manufactures many of the eligible technologies, threw its support behind the measure, saying in a statement it “could help drivers improve highway safety and potentially mitigate accidents on our nation’s roadways.”
