Safety is Not For Sale Act ensures lifesaving motor vehicle safety features are offered independently of convenience and luxury features.
The Safety is Not For Sale Act prohibits the sale or lease of optional safety features for motor vehicles unless they are offered separately from non-safety features and their cost is clearly disclosed. The Federal Trade Commission enforces this prohibition, treating violations as unfair or deceptive acts or practices. States can bring civil actions on behalf of residents for violations, with the option to recover costs and attorney fees if they prevail. The Act takes effect 180 days after enactment.
