To amend the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act to require 
that the motor vehicle bumper standard established by the Secretary of 
  Transportation shall be restored to that in effect January 1, 1982.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 102 of the 
Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act (15 U.S.C. 1912) is 
amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection:
    ``(f)(1) Not later than one year after the date of enactment of 
this subsection, the Secretary shall amend the bumper standard 
contained in sections 581.1 through 581.7 of title 49, Code of Federal 
Regulations, to ensure that, except as provided in paragraph (2), such 
standard is identical to the bumper standard under such sections which 
was in effect on January 1, 1982. The amended standard shall apply to 
all passenger automobiles beginning with the model year after the date 
of amendment of the standard.
    ``(2) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit the 
Secretary from requiring impact speeds under such sections higher than 
the impact speed contained in such amended standard.''.
