    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has delayed the effective date of a new safety rule, FMVSS No. 305a, from December 20, 2024, to March 20, 2025.

The delay allows for further review as directed by a presidential memorandum, aiming to ensure all new regulations are thoroughly considered.
