AI Summary
This bill, the SAFE Limos Act of 2021, aims to establish safety standards for certain limousines. The key provisions include:
1. Requiring limousines to have integrated lap shoulder belts or lap belts installed at each seating position, and meet standards for seats and seat attachment to minimize failure during vehicle impacts.
2. Defining "limousine" and prohibiting limousine remodelers from selling, leasing, or renting new limousines unless they have submitted a vehicle remodeler plan to the Secretary of Transportation describing how they are mitigating safety risks.
3. Directing the Secretary to research and potentially establish new motor vehicle safety standards for limousines, such as side impact protection, roof crush resistance, and air bag systems.
4. Requiring limousine operators to prominently disclose the date, results, and any corrective actions from the most recent inspection of the limousine, enforceable by the Federal Trade Commission.
5. Requiring the Secretary to prescribe a final motor vehicle safety standard for the use of event data recorders in limousines, with privacy protections.
