To direct the Secretary of Transportation to revise the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to establish a maximum allowable brightness standard for low beam headlamps on motor vehicles, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 7772 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. Department of Transportation to set a legal limit on how bright vehicle headlights can be. Currently, federal safety standards set *minimum* brightness requirements for low beam headlights but don't cap how bright they can get.

The bill aims to establish a maximum brightness standard to address complaints about increasingly bright headlights that some drivers say cause glare and reduce visibility on the road. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact vehicle manufacturers, who would need to comply with new brightness limits on headlights in future vehicles. It would also affect drivers and the general public, as the goal is to improve road safety and reduce driver discomfort from glare caused by high-intensity headlights. **Current Status** HR 7772 was introduced by Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez (D-Washington) and is currently under review in a House committee. The bill has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
