CAR SEAT Act
Key claim: The House CAR SEAT Act (H.R. 7679) has been sent to the Highways and Transit Subcommittee for review and has not become law.
Abstract
(HR7679 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-02-26): Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
Why this matters
The CAR SEAT Act is at the earliest stage of the legislative pipeline — referred to a House subcommittee with no markup or enacted change — so it has no current operational effect on transportation safety. Tracking its progression matters because subcommittee-stage referral is where the substantive scope of highway and transit safety bills typically gets defined.
