An Act relative to improved headlight safety

This bill requires all new automobiles sold in Massachusetts after January 1, 2028, to include adaptive beam headlight technology. It directly affects car manufacturers selling new vehicles in the state and new car buyers. The key provision mandates that these headlights must meet federal safety standards authorized by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The law ties Massachusetts requirements to the existing federal standard, avoiding new state-specific rules.
