It is the policy of this Commonwealth that enactment of the mandatory safety seat belt system usage provision contained in 75 Pa.C.S. § 4581 (relating to restraint systems) is intended to be compatible with support for Federal safety standards requiring automatic crash protection and shall not be used in any manner to rescind Federal automatic crash protection system requirements. The provisions of 75 Pa.C.S. § 4581(a)(2) shall become inoperative immediately upon the date that the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation, or his or her delegate, determines to rescind the portion of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 (49 C.F.R. § 571.208), which requires the installation of automatic restraints in new private passenger motor vehicles; provided, however, that section 4581(a)(2) shall not become inoperative if the secretary's decision to rescind Standard 208 is not based in any respect on the enactment or continued operation of section 4581(a)(2).
