A bill to provide for disclosure of the bumper impact capability of certain passenger motor vehicles and to require a 5-mile-per-hour bumper standard for such vehicles.
Automobile and Minivan Bumper Improvement Act of 1994 - Amends the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act to direct the Secretary of Transportation to promulgate a regulation establishing bumper system labeling requirements for passenger motor vehicles constructed without special features for occasional off-road operation. Requires such labeling to disclose the impact speed at which the manufacturer represents that the vehicle meets the applicable damage criteria under the bumper standard specified in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Directs the Secretary to amend such bumper standard to make it identical with the standard in effect on January 1, 1982, but applicable only to such vehicles manufactured after September 1, 1995. Permits the Secretary to require a standard more stringent than the one in effect on January 1, 1982.
