Senate Amendment to Exempt OHV From Lead Ban
Senate Amendment to Exempt OHV from Lead Ban
The CPSIA (also known as the lead ban) established acceptable levels of certain substances, including lead, resulting in a ban on the sale of youth motorcycles and ATVs due to traces of lead in various components.
Senate Amendment 264, introduced by U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and co-sponsored by Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) adds the exemption to S.493, a small business program reauthorization bill that would exclude youth off-highway vehicles from the CPSIA.The amendment would add language to the CPSIA specifically stating off-highway vehicles including two- and four-wheel vehicles and snowmobiles.
Klobuchers amendment is similar to the Kids Just Want to Ride Act, H.R. 412, introduced by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.).
