Abstract

Provides that a person is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor if he knowingly manufactures, imports, sells, installs, or reinstalls a counterfeit air bag or nonfunctional air bag, or any device that is intended to conceal a counterfeit air bag or nonfunctional air bag, in a motor vehicle. The bill provides an exemption for the sale, installation, reinstallation, or replacement of a motor vehicle air bag on a vehicle solely used for police work. The bill also provides that any sale, installation, reinstallation, or replacement of a motor vehicle air bag with a counterfeit, nonfunctional, or otherwise unlawful air bag shall not be construed as a superseding cause that limits the liability of any party in any civil action.
