Bill overview
This bill, the SAFE Exit Act of 2026, aims to improve vehicle safety by requiring all new cars to have a manual door release that can be used to open the door even if the car’s electrical system fails. The law mandates that the Secretary of Transportation create a new safety standard to ensure these manual releases are easily accessible and functional. This change is intended to provide a reliable escape route for occupants in emergency situations.
