Summary

This bill requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to establish a mandatory safety standard for retractable awnings within 18 months of enactment. The standard must protect against death or serious injury from retractable awnings, including risks from awnings unexpectedly opening and striking people when tie-downs are being removed. The Consumer Product Safety Commission shall determine which types of fixed and freestanding retractable awnings fall within the scope of the standard. The resulting standard will be treated as a consumer product safety rule under the Consumer Product Safety Act.
