Overview

This bill directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to establish mandatory safety standards for lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility devices like electric bikes and scooters. Specifically, it requires the CPSC to adopt existing standards from organizations like ANSI, CAN, and UL. The bill also outlines a process for updating these standards and mandates the CPSC to report to Congress on incidents involving these batteries.

Key provisions

The CPSC must issue final consumer product safety standards based on ANSI/CAN/UL 2271, 2849, and 2272 standards within 180 days of enactment.
The standards apply to consumer products as defined by the Consumer Product Safety Act.
Organizations revising the referenced standards must notify the CPSC.
Revised standards are treated as CPSC consumer product safety rules.
The CPSC must report to Congress on lithium-ion battery incidents in micromobility devices.
The report must include information on the source of data, battery and product details, compliance status, and manufacturer information.
The CPSC can retain existing standards if a proposed revision doesn't improve safety.
The CPSC has 5 years to submit the report to Congress.

Who is affected

Manufacturers of micromobility devices (electric bikes, scooters)
