Public Policy

Safe Kids USA works hard to ensure that state and federal laws or regulations exist to help prevent unintentional injury to children. Occasionally, Safe Kids submits position statements to Congress or federal agencies with jurisdiction over children’s issues.

Safe Kids may support or oppose pending legislation or rule-making, provide testimony at a congressional hearing, or issue comments as to how a bill or rule may be improved to better protect children.
