An Act relative to improved headlight safety

SD 2007 requires all new automobiles sold in Massachusetts after January 1, 2028, to be equipped with adaptive beam headlight technology. This bill directly affects automobile manufacturers and dealers selling new vehicles within the Commonwealth. The key provision mandates compliance with a federally approved standard (amended Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108) for adaptive headlights, as authorized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The law adopts an existing federal safety requirement rather than creating new standards.
