A bill to require all high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles of the Army to be equipped with an anti-lock brake system and electronic stability control kit, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the U.S. Army to equip all high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs, commonly known as Humvees) with anti-lock brake systems and electronic stability control kits by September 30, 2033. The Secretary of the Army must submit a detailed plan within 90 days of enactment, outlining production increases, retrofitting schedules at Red River Army Depot, and funding needs. Annual certifications to Congress will be required starting in 2025 to confirm budget alignment with the deadline. The mandate directly affects Army vehicle safety standards and procurement processes, focusing on concrete safety upgrades for military vehicles.
