HR 7372 United States House · 119th Congress

Safety is Not For Sale Act

This bill prohibits car manufacturers and dealers from selling safety features (like automatic emergency braking, lane assist, or crash alert systems) as optional add-ons that require extra payment. Instead, safety features must either be offered as standard equipment on all vehicles in a trim level or clearly priced separately from non-safety features (e.g., a sunroof or premium sound system). It directly affects car buyers by ensuring safety technology is not hidden behind costly "upgrades," and applies to all new vehicles sold in the U.S. The law also requires clear cost disclosure to prevent deceptive pricing practices.
