The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urging the federal government to implement safety regulations for automated vehicles, including both partially and fully autonomous vehicles. It highlights the increasing prevalence of these vehicles on the road and the potential for automation to reduce traffic accidents. However, it also acknowledges the unique challenges posed by Montana's road and weather conditions, particularly the state's high rate of live animal-related fatal car crashes due to wildlife and livestock.

The resolution calls on the United States Congress and the federal Department of Transportation to establish laws and rules that ensure automated vehicles can operate safely in all weather and road conditions, including snowy or icy roads and mountainous areas. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to relevant congressional members and committees to advocate for these safety measures.
