Introduced
Summary
Would require large automakers to produce passenger cars with built-in alcohol and impairment-prevention technology. The bill would set annual vehicle production minimums tied to a DADSS performance specification and to specific sections of the European New Car Assessment Programme (ENCAP) version 10.3 to push impaired-driving tech into the market.
Show full summary
- Covered manufacturers: Applies to companies that produced, sold, or imported more than 250,000 motor vehicles in the second most recent year, so it targets the biggest automakers.
- Drivers and households: Pushes more passenger cars into the U.S. market that include alcohol-detection and ENCAP v10.3 safety features, making those technologies more common for buyers.
- Enforcement and standards: Adds the new requirement to provisions eligible for civil penalties, expands the statutory definition of a motor vehicle safety standard, limits replacing the ENCAP-based benchmark to Secretary approval, and sets the rules to expire on the effective date of the rule required under section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

New safety production mandates for automakers
This bill would require large vehicle makers to produce minimum numbers of safer passenger cars. Not later than 180 days after enactment, each "covered manufacturer" (one that made, sold, introduced, or imported more than 250,000 vehicles in the second most recent year) would have to make at least 10,000 passenger vehicles per calendar year that meet the DADSS Subsystem Performance Specification and at least 10,000 passenger vehicles per calendar year that meet sections 3.5.1–3.5.4.4 of the European New Car Assessment Programme v10.3 (Dec. 2023). If ENCAP revises that standard, the revised standard would replace the ENCAP-based rule within 120 days unless the Secretary, after Federal Register notice and public comment, finds the revision does not meet the safety need. Failing to meet these production minimums would be subject to existing civil penalties. The production requirements would expire when the rule required under section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (49 U.S.C. 30111 note) takes effect.
