Michael Burgess said "The thesis of this amendment is to secure good government reforms at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. We want to make certain that we are able to exercise strong oversight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and we want to make certain that NHTSA is staying within its authorized jurisdiction. We took some ideas that were raised by the minority, amended them to reflect things like the longer life of cars. We asked manufacturers to hold onto safety information for a longer period of time. We extend the time for free recall fix requirements. Lastly, we have added the bipartisan Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015 and provided adjusted funding levels to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to advance their important safety work. This is an important amendment, and I urge my colleagues to accept it. I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
