Requires a federal study on fire risks in car materials for drivers and first responders.
This bill would require the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to study fire risks from materials used inside cars. The study would look at dangers to people in cars and first responders, as well as health risks from chemicals.
Today, there are rules for how flammable car materials can be, but no law requires a full federal study on these fire risks or related health dangers. If this bill passes, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) would have to conduct a comprehensive study on car material flammability, including safety risks, health hazards, and ways to reduce them. NHTSA would then publish a report on its website within 30 months (2.5 years) of the bill becoming law.
