Safety is Not For Sale Act
To ensure that lifesaving motor vehicle safety features are offered independently of convenience and luxury features, and for other purposes.
The Safety is Not For Sale Act, also known as HB7372, aims to make sure that essential safety features in motor vehicles are not tied to luxury options. This means that safety features like automatic emergency braking or lane departure warnings should be available independently, not just as part of a pricier package. This bill was introduced to protect consumers by ensuring they can buy safety features without having to pay for extras they may not want.
This legislation would impact all car manufacturers and buyers. Manufacturers would have to offer lifesaving safety features separately, while consumers would have more choices and potentially lower costs for safety features. It's intended to make roads safer by making sure everyone can afford the necessary protections, regardless of their budget for other vehicle features.
HB7372 was introduced on February 4, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, with a further referral to the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade. On February 10, 2026, the subcommittee held a consideration and mark-up session and forwarded the bill by voice vote to the full committee.
