Summary
The bill amends the Consumer Product Safety Act to remove the exclusion of firearms, including pistols and revolvers, from the definition of "consumer product." By removing this exclusion, the bill would permit the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue safety standards for firearms. The bill makes this change by striking the relevant exclusionary provision from the Consumer Product Safety Act and redesignating the remaining provisions accordingly.
