WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, delivered the following opening statement at today’s markup of twelve bills to strengthen automotive safety, affordability, and leadership.

Subcommittee Chairman Bilirakis’s opening statement as prepared for delivery:

“Today we will be advancing legislation aimed at modernizing and ensuring motor vehicle safety, promoting innovation, and ensuring affordability.

“The Members of this subcommittee understand better than anyone that there is no partisan way to save lives. In 2024, nearly 40,000 people died on our roadways. That number is staggering—but what matters most is what it represents: families forever changed, milestones never reached, and seats left empty around kitchen tables. That reality should drive our work here today.

“Meeting this moment requires practical solutions to strengthen motor vehicle safety and empower NHTSA to succeed in its mission. I would like to highlight three solutions to bolster motor vehicle safety.

“First, we must address the growing risks that electric vehicle battery fires present to vehicle occupants, firefighters, and the public at large. These fires have led to serious fatalities and created dangerous conditions for firefighters, made worse by inconsistent vehicle designs and a lack of standardized response protocols. This is an area where Congress can and must bring together first responders, safety experts, NHTSA, and industry to develop real solutions.

“This issue has had tragic consequences, and I want to again thank Florida State Rep. Meg Weinberger for her leadership in bringing attention to this problem and working with me on potential solutions. I’m grateful to the Chairman for partnering with me to include a new provision in the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act that strengthens fire rescue capabilities and improves safety for first responders on the front line.

“Second, we are considering the SELF-DRIVE Act, which establishes a federal framework for the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles. I want to commend Mr. Latta for his years of dedication to this issue.

“Autonomous vehicles hold enormous potential, not just as a technological advancement, but as a tool to save lives. By reducing human error, which is responsible for most crashes, AVs can prevent accidents before they happen. They also offer new mobility and independence for seniors and people with disabilities.

“Finally, accessibility must remain central to our approach to mobility. Today, millions of wheelchair users rely on outdated and non-standardized securement systems that are often unreliable. This has led to preventable injuries, restricted travel, and unnecessary dependence on caregivers.

“The Motor Vehicle Modernization Act takes an important step forward by directing NHTSA to prioritize research into automated wheelchair securing systems. I thank the Chairman for recognizing the importance of this issue and including this impactful provision.

“I am confident that, working together, we can advance legislation that prioritizes safety, accessibility, and American automotive leadership. I look forward to our discussion today on how we can achieve these goals by moving these bills to the next stage of the legislative process.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, led a markup of twelve bills to strengthen automotive safety, affordability, and leadership.

“The twelve bills we considered address a wide range of priorities from improving vehicle safety technology to modernizing our transportation regulations. Each of these measures reflects a commitment to keeping Americans safe on the road, while supporting the competitiveness and innovation of our domestic automotive industry,” said Chairman Bilirakis. “Ensuring safe, affordable, and reliable transportation is critical for families, businesses, and communities alike, and today’s markup is another step toward saving lives and preparing our automotive industry for the challenges and opportunities of the future.”

Below are key excerpts from today’s markup:

Congressman Craig Goldman (TX-12) on H.R. 7390, the Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research In Vehicle Evolution (SELF DRIVE) Act of 2026: “The SELF DRIVE Act takes a clear approach to regulating autonomous vehicles by pairing innovation with clear, enforceable safety expectations. […] A chaotic web of over 30 state laws breeds confusion, stalls deployment, undermines consistent safety, and erodes consumer confidence. The SELF DRIVE Act cuts through this red tape with a unified national framework, unleashing innovation nationwide.”

Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) on H.R. 7389, the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026: “Our primary tasks here today are to strengthen motor vehicle safety, modernize, and unlock innovation in the automotive industry. The Motor Vehicle Modernization Act advances all three of these objectives.”

Congressman Gabe Evans (CO-08) on H.R. 5221, the PART Act: “Law enforcement groups have gone on the record to state that including tracing in legislation is critical to helping deter the theft and trafficking of stolen catalytic converters, making it easier to prosecute the criminals committing these crimes. […] My constituents deserve real solutions, which the PART Act helps to deliver with a national framework to combat catalytic converter theft.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, delivered the following opening statement at today’s hearing titled Examining Legislative Options to Strengthen Motor Vehicle Safety, Ensure Consumer Choice and Affordability, and Cement U.S. Automotive Leadership.

Subcommittee Chairman Bilirakis’s opening statement as prepared for delivery:

“Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. Today we will be examining legislation aimed at modernizing motor vehicle safety. Thank you to our witnesses for joining us.

“Whether it is protecting our kids online or ensuring the safety of the cars in our driveways, we have always understood that there is no partisan way to save lives. In 2024, nearly 40,000 people died on our roadways.

“We often talk about these numbers as statistics, but every single one of them represents an empty chair at a dinner table. We cannot accept this as the cost of doing business.

“That is why we must focus on solutions to strengthen motor vehicle safety and empower NHTSA to succeed in its mission to save lives. I would like to highlight several solutions to bolster motor vehicle safety and enable innovation.

“First, we are considering a bipartisan discussion draft of the SELF-DRIVE Act, which establishes a federal framework for the safety deployment of autonomous vehicles. I want to commend Mr. Latta and Ms. Dingell for their hard work over many years to produce this discussion draft.

“AVs are not just a luxury; they can be a lifeline. By reducing human error, which causes the vast majority of crashes, we can prevent tragedies before they happen. AVs can also empower seniors and people with disabilities to be mobile and regain their independence.

“This legislation is also necessary to successfully compete against communist China, who are seeking to flood the world with Chinese self-driving technology. We cannot let America fall behind.

“Second, we are considering the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act, which makes substantial reforms to NHTSA to improve the agency’s operations, ensure the agency is accountable to Congress, and empower the agency to better advance automotive safety and innovation.

“These include reforms to NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program, which provides market incentives for automakers to compete on safety.

“The bill ensures accountability to providing Congress and stakeholders a defined roadmap of the agency’s research and rulemaking priorities. The bill also revamps NHTSA’s general exemption process to allow for the deployment novel vehicle technologies so America can lead in safety and innovation.

“Finally, as we consider proposals to ensure motor vehicle safety, we must keep in the mind the high costs of motor vehicles, which reached a record high of $50,000 for an average new vehicle. If consumers cannot afford new vehicles, they will not be able to take advantage of the innovative safety features in these vehicles, which will have adverse impacts on highway safety.

“I am confident that, working together, we can advance legislation that prioritizes safety and American automotive leadership. I look forward to hearing from our witnesses on how we can achieve that dream together.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, led a legislative hearing titled Examining Legislative Options to Strengthen Motor Vehicle Safety, Ensure Consumer Choice and Affordability, and Cement U.S. Automotive Leadership.

“The American automotive industry has long been a driving force behind job creation and continuous improvements in the comfort, safety, and quality of the vehicles on our roads. While technologies and times have evolved, our commitment to innovation, safety, and consumer choice remains unchanged,” said Chairman Bilirakis. “Today’s hearing underscored the importance of updating policies to reflect modern advancements, and I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to advance these bills, strengthen motor vehicle safety, and ensure American automotive leadership remains at the forefront of the global marketplace.”

Below are key excerpts from today’s hearing:

Congressman Bob Latta (OH-05): “Mr. Fulton, will you explain why the federal preemption provision is necessary and how its intersection with safety case provision will foster the development of AVs here in the United States?” Mr. Fulton: “You and Congresswoman Dingell were right a decade ago. [...] There's a grand agreement among Republicans, Democrats, state and local regulators, and the Congress and the Executive Branch itself across multiple administrations that this is the consensus, industry-driven way to do it that is fully understandable and can be executed upon. [...] I certainly hope that Congress once again agrees with you and passes this bill with the safety case provisions.”

Congressman Gabe Evans (CO-08): “We also have today the PART Act to address the scourge of catalytic converter theft across the country. I was a cop. [...] It's a particular problem that Colorado has grappled with being the number one state in the nation for auto theft multiple times over the last five years. [...] Quite often [that’s] the result of some of these statewide Democrat soft-on-crime policies. Our attorney general, Phil Weiser, [...] remarked people should only be kept in jail after 'someone commits a third or fourth car theft in three months.’ [...] So, I'm heartened by the PART Act actually taking this problem seriously, because I've seen the impact that this has on my constituents.”

Congressman Craig Goldman (TX-12): “Considering the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) resource constraints, what legislative reforms could improve the agency's efficiency in addressing high traffic fatalities, especially in districts such as my own, that consist of urban and rural mixes?” Ms. Cain: “We really do think a number of the reforms that are laid out in the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act are precisely the sorts of reforms that are needed in order to make the agency more effective. [...] We think the research and rulemaking plan that's outlined in the proposal is fantastic and a way to ensure alignment between NHTSA’s research program and rulemaking program. The modernization of [the New Car Assessment Program] will be a critical component of getting new and innovative safety technologies on the road as well.”

“Since the Model T was first produced in 1908, the American automotive industry has been the driving force for creating jobs and improving the comfort and quality of the vehicles on our roads. Though the times and technologies have changed, our desire for innovation, safety, and consumer choice have not,” said Chairmen Guthrie and Bilirakis. “We look forward to discussing these bills to strengthen motor vehicle safety with our colleagues and continuing to advance American automotive leadership.”

Below are key excerpts from today’s markup:

Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) on H.R. 6489, the Safeguarding Adolescents From Exploitative (SAFE) Bots Act: “Kids aren’t just scrolling feeds. They’re forming real emotional attachments to AI chatbots that can mimic authority, appear trustworthy, and respond at all hours. [...] Parents are, quite simply, outmatched, and the status quo is not acceptable. The SAFE Bots Act creates clear baseline guardrails. It prohibits AI from impersonating licensed professionals—no chatbots should act like a doctor or a therapist to a child. It requires age-appropriate disclosure so minors know they are talking to AI, not a human, and that the chatbots cannot provide licensed professional advice.”

Congressman John James (MI-10) on H.R. 3149, the App Store Accountability Act: “App stores should follow the same commonsense rules we expect from every small business. If a corner store can’t knowingly sell adult or addictive products to minors, then neither should the world’s largest digital storefronts.”

Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) on H.R. 6484, the Kids Online Safety Act: “KOSA protects kids across America by mandating default safeguards and easy-to-use parental controls to empower families. [...] KOSA will broadly protect kids and teens, while the other bills before us address particular harms or take specific approaches to help ensure no existing threat is left unaddressed. In many ways, those bills make KOSA even stronger by working alongside them. [...] It is the foundation and the safety net with concrete safeguards to keep kids and teens safe.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, delivered the following opening statement at today's markup of 18 bills to protect children and teens online.

Subcommittee Chairman Bilirakis’s opening statement as prepared for delivery:

“Good morning, and welcome to today’s subcommittee markup, another important step in advancing legislation to protect children online.

“Our children are facing an online epidemic. Around 95 percent of teenagers use social media, and far too many have been cyberbullied or faced other harms online. This issue is personal – we have parents on both sides of the aisle, and all of us represent families back home who have been affected.

“In my home district in Tampa Bay, we lost 16-year-old McKenna Brown after relentless online bullying. Her tragedy—and the heartbreak of her family—is a constant reminder of why we must act.

“It’s because of countless stories like this, that we’re here today.

“We’re considering nearly twenty bills, that together form a comprehensive strategy to protect kids and teens online. Our approach is clear: protect kids, empower parents, and future proof our legislation as new risks and technologies emerge. Families deserve clarity. Parents deserve control. And bad actors must face real consequences.

“The Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, is among these bills—a strong proposal with concrete safeguards and obligations for companies, and one I am proud to lead.

“But no single bill is a complete solution. These proposals work together, complementing and reinforcing one another to create the safest possible environment for children. There is no one-size-fits-all bill to protect kids online—and our plan reflects that.

“Parents must be empowered to safeguard their children online. Just as a parent can guide their kids’ activities at home and in school, they should be able to guide their children’s activities online. Our bills ensure parents have the tools and information they need to keep their kids safe in a modern, increasingly complex environment.

“The status quo is unacceptable, and we are here to change and ensure meaningful consequences for platforms that fail to protect our kids.

“Today is about progress. It’s about setting aside differences and doing right by the families who are counting on us. I’m confident that, working together, we can advance meaningful, bipartisan solutions that give parents peace of mind and make the online world safer for every child. I appreciate the hard work of my colleagues, and I look forward to continuing this effort in the days ahead.”
