PARK IT Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Protecting Americans from the Risks of Keyless Ignition Technology Act or the PARK IT Act
This bill directs the Department of Transportation (DOT) to finalize regulations relating to automatic shutoff systems for motor vehicles and standards to prevent the movement of vehicles in specific situations.
Specifically, DOT must require manufacturers to install technology in each motor vehicle (not including a battery electric vehicle) with a keyless ignition device and an internal combustion engine to automatically shut off the vehicle after the vehicle has idled for a period necessary to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Additionally, it must be installed in each motor vehicle with a keyless ignition device and automatic transmission to prevent movement (i.e., rollaway) of the vehicle if (1) the transmission of the vehicle is not in the park setting, (2) the vehicle does not exceed the speed determined by DOT, (3) the door for the operator of the vehicle is open, (4) the seat belt of the operator of the vehicle is unbuckled, and (5) the service brake of the vehicle is not engaged.
