Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requires the U.S. Army to install anti-lock brake systems and electronic stability control kits on all of its high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles, commonly known as Humvees, by September 30, 2030. These safety upgrades would improve vehicle braking and handling during emergency situations. The Secretary of the Army must develop a detailed plan within 90 days outlining how to accomplish this retrofitting work, including production timelines, funding requirements, and how to address any obstacles, with most of the work expected to take place at Red River Army Depot in Texas. The Army must also certify to Congress in 2026, 2027, and 2028 that it has adequate funding to complete the project on schedule. The legislation does not specify the total cost, but requires the Army to identify all necessary funding and resources needed to retrofit the fleet of vehicles within the six-year timeline.
