Tristan's Law

This bill would create a federal grant program for states that pass laws requiring ice cream and other frozen dessert trucks to carry certain safety equipment. The required equipment includes flashing red signal lamps, a stop signal arm on the left side, a convex mirror on the front, and a front crossing arm. Each year, 1 percent of a federal highway safety grant fund would go to these states, and the share for another existing program would drop from 7 percent to 6 percent. The Secretary of Transportation would also study pedestrian injuries linked to frozen dessert trucks, issue guidance to states, and report to Congress.
