Title II: Consumer Product Safety Commission - Requires the Commission to employ no fewer than the full-time equivalent of 568 officers and employees. Title III: General Provisions Respecting Commission Activities - Repeals the Cellulose Insulation Safety Standards.

Title IV: Amusement Park Rides - Applies provisions of such Act to amusement rides which are not permanently fixed to a site. Declares that an amusement ride which is permanently fixed is not a consumer product for the purposes of promulgating safety standards or bans regarding such rides. Permits the Commission to release information from which the public can readily ascertain the identity of the amusement ride manufacturer or owner-operator. Requires immediate notification of the Commission if any amusement ride operator obtains information which reasonably supports the conclusion that the amusement ride the operator owns contains a defect and a death or serious injury occurred on such ride. Authorizes the Commission to order the repair, replacement, or refund of purchase price if it determines that an amusement ride presents a substantial product hazard and the corrective action is in the public interest. Permits the Commission to make inspections with respect to amusement rides which: (1) are not permanently fixed to a site; (2) are permanently fixed to a site if the State in which the inspection would occur does not require periodic inspection; or (3) are involved in an accident resulting in a fatality or personal injury requiring hospitalization. Requires that such inspection be commenced and completed with reasonable promptness.
