A bill to authorize appropriations for the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 and the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 to authorize appropriations in specified amounts to carry out the provisions of such Act for fiscal years 1980 through 1982. Amends the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act to authorize appropriations for fiscal years 1980 through 1982 for: (1) bumper standards; (2) automobile consumer information studies; and (3) odometer requirements. Requires the Secretary of Transportation to submit to the President for transmittal to Congress, as a separate part of the annual comprehensive report required by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, a report on the progress made in carrying out automobile bumper standards including the cost savings realized on account of such standards. Authorizes the Secretary to exempt from odometer standards those classes of vehicles for which the Secretary finds that odometer readings have no meaningful relation to value or performance. Prohibits the Secretary from requiring dealers or distributors of tires to compile lists of purchasers to notify them of subsequently discovered tire defects but directs the Secretary to require such dealers or distributors to furnish the first purchaser of a tire with a form which the purchaser may fill out and return to the tire manufacturer.
