## Summary

**Brings permanently fixed amusement park rides under the Consumer Product Safety Act.** This bill would also define which attractions count as "covered devices" and set aside $11.5 million a year for the Consumer Product Safety Commission to carry out safety activities for those devices, split between fixed and non-fixed rides. - Families and riders: Permanently fixed amusement rides would be treated as consumer products under federal law, so those attractions fall within CPSC oversight and safety work. - Amusement park operators and manufacturers: Devices that carry passengers along a fixed route and are controlled by an employed operator would meet the bill's definition of a "covered device," bringing those operators and makers into the CPSA framework. - Consumer Product Safety Commission staff and activities: The bill would add dedicated funding of $6.5 million a year for permanently fixed devices and $5.0 million a year for non-permanently fixed devices to support oversight and related activities. *Adds $11.5 million a year in dedicated federal funding to the Consumer Product Safety Commission for amusement-ride safety.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- More federal funding for ride safety: benefit, low. The bill would authorize $11.5 million each year for the Consumer Product Safety Commission's ride safety work. $5 million a year would be for rides not fixed to a site. $6.5 million a year would be for rides fixed at a site. This would be on top of the agency's regular funding.
- Federal safety rules for fixed rides: mixed, medium. If enacted, fixed amusement park rides would count as consumer products under federal law. The Consumer Product Safety Commission could set and enforce safety rules and testing. Park owners and ride makers would face new federal oversight and compliance steps. Riders could see stronger safety prote…
