MODERATE

The bill was amended to modernize terminology by replacing 'salvaged airbags' with 'recycled inflatable restraint systems' to align with industry standards. The substantive legal requirements for inspections, theft checks, and record-keeping remain largely the same, though the text was reorganized to clarify that these rules apply to the sale and installation of these specific parts.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's language was broadened from specifically 'salvaged airbags' to the more precise legal term 'recycled inflatable restraint systems', ensuring the law covers all related parts regardless of specific nomenclature.

DEFINITION

Replaced the term 'salvaged airbag' with 'recycled inflatable restraint system' throughout the text to ensure consistent and accurate legal terminology.

Added a specific definition clarifying that 'recycled inflatable restraint system' has the same meaning as defined in Section 415-c.

REQUIREMENT

Restructured the inspection and certification requirements to explicitly cover both the sale and installation of these parts, clarifying that prohibited parts cannot be installed in any vehicle.

TECHNICAL

Reorganized the bill's structure and numbering to improve readability and logical flow while maintaining the original policy intent.
