Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue regulations to modify section 393.60(e)(1) of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, to permanently allow the voluntary mounting on the inside of a vehicle’s windshield, within the area swept by windshield wipers, of vehicle safety technologies, if the Secretary determines that such mounting is likely to achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be achieved without such mounting.
In this section, the term vehicle safety technology includes lane departure warning systems, collision avoidance systems, on-board video event recording devices, and any other technology determined appropriate by the Secretary. Nothing in this section may be construed to alter the terms of a short-term exemption from section 393.60(e) of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, granted and in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act.
