Relative to increasing operational safety for keyless ignition technology in motor vehicles. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase operational safety for keyless ignition technology in motor vehicles. It requires manufacturers to install technology that automatically shuts off the engine after a designated period of idling and external warning technology to alert the operator if the key or key code carrying device has been taken outside the vehicle while the engine is still running. Dealers and rental companies are prohibited from selling, leasing, or renting vehicles without these safety features. The bill also mandates the inclusion of keyless ignition devices as part of the initial and annual motor vehicle inspection process, with specific requirements for inspecting the functionality of the safety technologies. The bill will take effect 2 years after its passage.
