Alex Gate Safety Act of 2025

The Alex Gate Safety Act of 2025 requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to establish safety standards for "covered gates" (including automatic/vehicular gates and gates over 48 inches wide or 84 inches tall) within one year of enactment, referencing existing ASTM and ANSI safety standards. It mandates a public education campaign by the CPSC within two years to inform manufacturers, installers, building officials, and consumers about gate safety risks and prevention methods. The CPSC must also report to Congress within three years on actions taken through the education campaign. The bill directly affects gate manufacturers, installers, retailers, building officials, and consumers using these gates.
