An Act establishing the crime of airbag fraud.

HB 74 creates a new criminal offense called "airbag fraud" for knowingly selling, installing, manufacturing, or offering for sale vehicles with unsafe airbags. It prohibits selling replacement airbags that don’t meet federal safety standards, counterfeit airbags, or nonfunctioning airbags (including those that hide defects), and selling vehicles known to have such airbags. Violations are punishable as a class A misdemeanor, or a class C felony if death or serious injury results. The law exempts police vehicle installations, dealers without knowledge of faulty airbags, and insurance companies handling totaled vehicles.
