The National Amusement Park Ride Safety Act aims to expand the regulatory authority of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) by amending the Consumer Product Safety Act. Specifically, it redefines "amusement device" to include those permanently fixed to a site , thereby bringing them under the CPSC's jurisdiction as consumer products. This legislative change removes the existing exclusion for such rides, allowing the CPSC to regulate their safety. To support this expanded oversight, the bill authorizes an annual appropriation of $11,500,000 for the CPSC. This funding is allocated with $5,000,000 for non-fixed devices and $6,500,000 specifically for activities related to the newly covered permanently fixed amusement rides.
