Bill Summary
Relative to increasing operational safety for keyless ignition technology in motor vehicles
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase operational safety for keyless ignition technology in motor vehicles. It requires dealers to install technology to automatically shut off the engine after a designated period of idling in new or used motor vehicles with keyless ignition devices and internal combustion engines. It also prohibits rental companies from renting such vehicles without the automatic shut-off technology and requires them to provide instructions on its use. The bill also mandates the inclusion of keyless ignition device inspections as part of the initial and annual motor vehicle inspection process starting in 2024, and allows for the rejection of vehicles that fail to comply with the new safety requirements. The provisions of the bill will take effect 2 years after its passage.
