AUTHORITY TO DISCONNECT INTERLOCKS AND BUZZERS The conference substitute contains two additional provisions which are related to section 125. Section 108(a) (2) (A) of the act-added by section 103(a) of the substitute generally prohibits rendering inoperative of safety systems required by the Federal motor vehicle safety standards. Section 102(a) (2) (C) contains an exception from 108(a) (2) (A) which permits rendering inoperative of any inter lock or continuous buzzer. Since this exception does not override section 108(a) (1) (A) of the act, which prohibits, and so forth, of a vehicle which does not comply with a standard, a further exception 1s provided in section 108(a) (2) (D), which permits a dealer to disconnect any interlock or continuous buzzer at the request of the purchaser of the motor vehicle. Section 111 of the bill makes this last exception effective on the date of enactment. House Committee Report-Section 111 House Report 93-1191, Page 42 SECTION 112.
