HR 7499 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Consumer Product Safety Act to remove the exclusion of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from the definition of consumer product in order to permit the issuance of safety standards for such articles by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Summary
This bill amends the Consumer Product Safety Act by removing the exclusion that currently exempts firearms from the definition of consumer product. Under current law, pistols, revolvers, and other firearms are excluded from Consumer Product Safety Commission regulation. Removing this exclusion would allow the Consumer Product Safety Commission to develop and enforce safety standards for firearms as it does for other consumer products.
