The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a correction to a previous rule about child restraint systems on December 4, 2024. The initial rule from October 9, 2024, had a mistake, instructing changes to a section of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards that didn't exist. This correction provides the right instructions so the changes can be properly included in the Code of Federal Regulations without modifying the content previously published. The changes focus on electronic registration for child restraint systems that will be produced after June 30, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge of car safety rules made a mistake in a recent document about safety seats for children and needed to fix it. They corrected the mistake so that the rules are written properly without changing any of the safety seat rules themselves.
