AI Summary
This bill requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to promulgate a consumer product safety standard for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility devices, such as electric bicycles and scooters, to protect against the risk of fires. The standard will also include requirements for related equipment, such as battery chargers and charging cables. The CPSC has one year to establish this standard and can subsequently modify it through rulemaking. The resulting standard will be treated as a consumer product safety rule under the Consumer Product Safety Act.
