Requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a final safety standard for fixed and freestanding retractable awnings to prevent deaths and serious injuries. The rule must address hazards such as awnings unexpectedly opening while someone removes bungee tie‑downs and clearly define which awnings are covered.
The standard will function as a consumer product safety rule under existing law, enabling testing, labeling, recalls, and enforcement to keep unsafe awnings off the market and improve consumer safety.
On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill Agreed to by voice vote. (text: CR H2854)
