Bill would mandate “Black Boxes” in all CMV’s Two U.S. senators today urged tougher regulations aimed at improving bus safety in response to last week’s deadly accident that killed 17 Vietnamese Catholics from Houston. Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, issued statements calling for the passage of their legislation, known as the Motorcoach Enhanced Safety Act. The pair introduced the bill, which would require bus owners to provide seat belts, fire extinguishers and other safety enhancements, last fall after a bus crash in Georgia killed several college athletes from an Ohio college.
