Next Gen Road Safety Act

This bill, titled the "Next Gen Road Safety Act," proposes to modify the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. Its primary goal is to expand the permissible uses of COPS grants for law enforcement agencies. Specifically, it would allow these grants to fund the procurement of various types of equipment, technology, or support systems . These tools, which could include vehicle-disabling systems, police bumper systems, and drones, are intended to assist in the prevention and de-escalation of high-speed vehicular pursuits . This amendment aims to enhance road safety by providing agencies with resources to manage dangerous pursuit situations more effectively.
