House amendment 15 USC 1397. Section 201 of Title II of the House amendment added two new definitions to section 102 of the Act. First, "schoolbus" was defined to mean a passenger motor vehicle which was designed to carry more than ten passengers in addition to the driver, and which the Secretary determined was likely to be significantly used for the purpose of transporting primary, pre-primary, or secondary school students to or from such schools or events related to such schools. Second, "schoolbus equipment" was defined to mean equipment designed primarily as a system, part, or component of a schoolbus, or any similar part or component manufactured or sold for replacement or improvement of such system, part, or component, or as an accessory or addition to a schoolbus. Section 202 of the House amendment amended section 103 of the Act to require that not later than six months after the date of enactment, the Secretary would publish proposed Federal motor vehicle safety standards to be applicable to schoolbuses and schoolbus equipment. Such proposed standards shall include minimum standards for the following aspects of performance; (1) emergency exits; (2) interior protection for occupants; (3) floor strength; (4) seating systems; (5) crashworthiness of body and frames (including protection against rollover hazards); (6) vehicle operating systems; (7) windows 47 and windshields; and (8) fuel systems. Not later than fifteen months after the date of enactment, the Secretary would promulgate Federal motor vehicle safety standards which provided minimum standards for the aforementioned aspects of performance and which would apply to each schoolbus and item of schoolbus equipment which is manufactured in or imported into the United States on or after the expiration of the nine-month period which begins on the date of promulgation of such safety standards. The Secretary was further authorized to prescribe regulations requiring that any schoolbus is to be test-driven by the manufacturer before introduction into commerce. Failure to so test is a prohibited act under section 108. Conference substitute The conference substitute adopts the House provisions.
