The full committee must now decide whether to consider the bill before it can move any further.

The requirement to clearly disclose standalone safety costs and offer them unbundled could reduce profit margins from high-end packages but may also attract more safety-conscious buyers who previously balked at bundle pricing.
“clearly and conspicuously discloses to the first purchaser the cost of the optional safety feature separately from any non-safety feature”
