Alert: Lithium-Ion Battery Legislation Advances in Congress
A top BOMA priority has been to help CRE deal with the growing threat posed by lithium-ion battery fires, and we are excited to share that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 1797, the “Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act.” Introduced by Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), the bill passed by an overwhelming 378-34 vote.
A top BOMA priority has been to help CRE deal with the growing threat posed by lithium-ion battery fires, and we are excited to share that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 1797, the “Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act.” Introduced by Rep.

BOMA thanks all of the Congresspeople who have supported the legislation to this point. We will continue to push for the bill to become law and to further engage on this topic to ensure an outcome that protects public safety. More information on this issue is available by reading the BOMA Policy Brief, “Battery Fires From Electric Bikes and Scooters.” Link to the policy brief is in our bio
