Bill > S1268

This bill, the Protecting Americans from the Risks of Keyless Ignition Technology Act (PARK IT Act), requires the Secretary of Transportation to issue final rules within 2 years to address two key issues with keyless ignition motor vehicles: 1. Automatic Shutoff Systems: The bill mandates the installation of technology that automatically shuts off the motor vehicle after it has idled for a designated period, as determined by the Secretary, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. 2. Rollaway Prevention: The bill requires the installation of technology to prevent movement of keyless ignition vehicles with automatic transmissions if the transmission is not in park, the vehicle is moving below a certain speed, the seatbelt is unbuckled, the service brake is not engaged, and the driver's door is open, in order to prevent vehicle rollaways. The rules mandated by this bill must be implemented within the first calendar year after the Secretary issues them.
