Summary

Provides a phase-in period for the power window and rearward visibility provisions. Requires the Secretary to: (1) establish a database of injuries and deaths in nontraffic, noncrash events involving light motor vehicles; and (2) supplement a consumer information program on child safety or create a new program with information about hazards to children in nontraffic, noncrash incident situations.
