Congress Passes ATV Safety Legislation

According to the MIC, on July 31 Congress passed comprehensive federal consumer safety legislation including industry-supported ATV safety provisions.

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (H.R. 4040) requires all ATVs imported or distributed in the U.S. to comply with the SVIA-developed ATV safety standard - American National Standard ANSI/SVIA -1-2007 for four-wheeled ATVs, and requires ATV manufacturers to comply with action plans regarding training and other safety initiatives. Each ATV must bear a label certifying such compliance. The legislation also prohibits importation or distribution of new 3-wheeled ATVs until a mandatory consumer product safety standard applicable to 3-wheeled ATVs is in effect.

The legislation also requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study of the utility, recreational and other benefits of ATVs and the costs associated with ATV-related accidents and injuries.

The legislation has been sent to President Bush, who is expected to sign it shortly.
