  Hi-Vis Federal Mandate:
  • State and local police departments have until November 24, 2008 to comply with 23 CFR Part 634, the Federal Highway Administration's mandate that all officers who are working within the right of way of federal-aid highways wear A.N.S.I. 107 Class 2 or 3 certified safety apparel
  • After the November deadline, agencies and departments will face fines and/or loss of grant funds for each violation of the mandate
  • Mandate 23 CFR Part 634 was adopted just prior to the publication of the A.N.S.I. 207 standard. While the federal mandate does not currently include the A.N.S.I. 207 standard, the FHA has already acknowledged the new standard and is in the process of amending the mandate so it includes first responders
