Imposes certain vehicle safety requirements on ice cream trucks
HB 2359, nicknamed "Felicity's Law," requires ice cream trucks to install specific safety equipment to protect children. It mandates front passenger mirrors, audible backup alarms, rear visibility systems (like mirrors, sensors, or cameras), and front obstacle detection systems. The bill also requires rear-facing signage at least one square foot in size stating "Caution" or "Watch for Children." This applies to all vehicles selling ready-to-eat frozen desserts, and the bill is currently in early legislative stages (prefiled and read first time).
