Apparently the government weenies think that such devices are a public menace to pedestrians and prius' and are not safe for use on our public highways. The industry association is fighting it of course, and trying to prevent/repair these laws. It is a very big deal to accessory dealers in some areas where it seems like every pickup on the road has a bumper guard or grill guard.

What immediately comes to mind is whatever will we do with all those snowplow blades up north? Seems to me that I'd rather hit a brush guard than a 7 foot wide plow blade.
