HR 3649 United States House · 119th Congress

Magnus White Cyclist Safety Act of 2025

This bill requires new passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks (under 10,000 lbs) to have automatic emergency braking systems that detect cyclists in all lighting conditions and across diverse appearances. The rule must be finalized within 3 years of enactment, with manufacturers required to comply within two model years after the rule's release. It mandates systems that activate at appropriate speeds and recognize vulnerable road users like bicyclists, regardless of skin tone, clothing, or protective gear. The law directly affects vehicle manufacturers and aims to improve safety for cyclists through standardized vehicle technology.
