Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a mandatory safety standard for certain gates within 1 year. Covered gates include automatic and manual vehicle gates and any other gate more than 48 inches wide or at least 84 inches tall. The standard would be based on existing industry safety standards, including a separate standard for gates with motorized operators. When those industry standards are revised, the revisions would automatically become part of the federal rule unless the Commission objects within 90 days. The Commission would also run a national public education campaign on gate dangers within 2 years and report to Congress on it within 3 years.
