Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act

S 1008, the *Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act*, requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to create new safety standards for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility devices like e-bikes and e-scooters within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The law directs the CPSC to specifically address fire risks by defining the scope of batteries and devices covered under the new standard. These standards will function as official safety rules under existing law, mandating concrete safety measures for manufacturers. The bill directly affects consumers who use these devices and manufacturers producing lithium-ion batteries for them.
