In this section, the term equestrian helmet means a hard shell head covering intended to be worn while participating in an equestrian event or activity. Every equestrian helmet manufactured on or after the date that is 270 days after the date of the enactment of this Act shall meet— in the case that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has not established a standard under subsection (c), the ASTM International standard designated as F1163 or successor standard; and in the case that the Commission has established a standard under subsection (c), the standard established under subsection (c).
The Consumer Product Safety Commission may promulgate a standard for equestrian helmets that incorporates all of the requirements of the ASTM International standard designated as F1163 or successor standard. Sections 7 and 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2056 and 2058) shall not apply to the promulgation of a standard under paragraph (1), and section 11 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 2060) shall not apply with respect to any standard promulgated under paragraph (1). A standard promulgated under paragraph
(1)shall be considered a consumer product safety standard promulgated under the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq.). An equestrian helmet subject to subsection
(b)that does not meet the applicable standard specified in such subsection shall be considered in violation of a consumer product safety standard promulgated under the Consumer Product Safety Act ( 15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq. ). There is authorized to be appropriated to the Consumer Product Safety Commission to carry out this section, $500,000 for fiscal year 2014, which amount shall remain available until expended.
