AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, within one year of the law taking effect, to run an education campaign about car seats and booster seats that are counterfeit or do not meet federal safety standards, and about how to identify and avoid them. It would authorize $1.5 million for the campaign, to remain available until spent. It would also add public information and education activities about these noncompliant or counterfeit child seats to the activities allowed under state highway safety programs funded by federal law.
