The Consumer Product Safety Act ( 15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following: Notwithstanding section 3(a)(5)(E), the Commission shall initiate a rulemaking proceeding under section 553 of title 5, United States Code, within 90 days after the date of the enactment of this section to establish— a consumer product safety standard for firearm locks; and a consumer product safety standard for firearm safes. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code, the Commission shall promulgate final consumer product safety standards under this paragraph within 12 months after the date on which the Commission initiates the rulemaking proceeding under subparagraph (A).
Each final consumer product safety standard promulgated under this paragraph shall take effect 6 months after the date on which such standard is promulgated. The standard for firearm locks promulgated under paragraph
(1)shall require firearm locks that— are sufficiently difficult for an unauthorized user to de-activate or remove; and prevent the discharge of the firearm unless the firearm lock has been de-activated or removed. The standard for firearm safes promulgated under paragraph
(1)shall require firearm safes that reliably secure firearms from unauthorized users, and include reliable security features, quality, and construction to reliably prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to a firearm by damaging or physically manipulating the safe. Sections 7 and 9 of this Act do not apply to the rulemaking proceeding under paragraph
(1)of subsection (a). Except for section 553, chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code, does not apply to this section. Chapter 6 of title 5, United States Code, does not apply to this section. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) does not apply to this section. Notwithstanding section 26 of this Act, this section does not annul, alter, impair, affect, or exempt any person subject to a consumer product safety standard promulgated under subsection (a)(1) from complying with any provision of the law of any State or any political subdivision thereof, except to the extent that such provision is inconsistent with any such standard, and then only to the extent of the inconsistency. A provision of the law of a State or a political subdivision thereof is not inconsistent with a consumer product safety standard promulgated under subsection (a)(1) if such provision affords greater protection to individuals with respect to firearms than is afforded by such standard. Notwithstanding subsection (b)(1), the consumer product safety standards promulgated by the Commission under subsection (a)(1) shall be enforced under this Act as if such standards were consumer product safety standards described in section 7(a).
