It was prompted by a years-long CBS News investigation that revealed potential seatback dangers linked to a government safety standard that may be outdated.<\/p>\n<p>Congressional correspondent Kris Van Cleave, who has been investigating this story since 2015, reports that buried inside the 2,700-page bill for roads, bridges, airports and waterways are a host of auto safety initiatives, including one inspired by our six-year CBS News investigation. It aims to change what safety advocates say is a dangerously outdated regulation that&#8217;s turning crashes deadly.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Our CBS News investigation (<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/nhtsa-requirements-for-car-crash-tests-inadequate-for-testing-fatalities-from-car-seats\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">which first aired in October 2015<\/a><\/span>) discovered that it had been known for decades that, when hit from behind, the front seats in all types of passenger vehicles can collapse, launching occupants into the backseat.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries can be catastrophic, something the Fraser family lives with the consequences of every day.<\/p>\n<p>Jayden Faith was a 12-year-old full of motion \u2014 a competitive dancer and eight-time state champion gymnast. But on Thanksgiving 2016, everything changed. The family was driving home from serving meals to the homeless when their car was rear-ended.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how life had changed, Jayden&#8217;s mother, Michelle Fraser, replied: &#8220;In every way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like, B.C. and A.D.,&#8221; Jayden&#8217;s father, Jason Fraser, said. &#8220;Like, a definitiveness of, we talk about our life before and after, because there&#8217;s no comparison.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When it happened, it was like a bomb went off,&#8221; said Michelle. &#8220;Something&#8217;s wrong. Very wrong, because she was just slumped and convulsing.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She died on the side of the road,&#8221; Jason said. &#8220;The paramedics put her in the ambulance, they said there&#8217;s no light in her eyes, she was gone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But somehow, &#8220;Jay-Fay,&#8221; as her parents call her, did survive, despite a 360-degree skull fracture and a life-changing traumatic brain injury, leaving her unable to walk or speak. <\/p>\n<p>Van Cleave asked, &#8220;What do you miss? Is there something you miss most? Probably hearing her voice?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s my number one,&#8221; Jason replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I miss seeing her dance,&#8221; Michelle said. <\/p>\n<p>The Frasers are not alone.

But the seats all meet, or <em>exceed<\/em>, federal safety standards set by a regulation dating back to the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p>Congresswoman Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.) learned of the issue from our investigation, and led the effort in the House to fix the problem. &#8220;I really do feel that the time is now,&#8221; she said, adding: &#8220;I think that credit should be given to CBS for you to identify this issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Inside the infrastructure bill is language requiring the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a> to draft a new, updated strength standard for vehicle seats within two years, but it requires the approval of the Secretary of Transportation before it can be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a fix that&#8217;s going to happen,&#8221; Rice said. &#8220;The car manufacturers know it, and we&#8217;re going to get it done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/senators-propose-legislation-to-boost-vehicle-seat-safety\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Senators propose legislation to boost vehicle seat safety<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">01:55<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But progressive Democrats are now threatening to join House Republicans and vote down the infrastructure bill unless <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/budget-reconciliation-plan-house-representatives-infrastructure-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">President Biden&#8217;s $3.5 trillion budget act<\/a><\/span> passes first. They argue infrastructure alone fails to address the needs of the nation. The political wrangling has this potentially life-saving reform hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n<p>Van Cleave asked Jason Fraser what he had to say to the politicians in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The longer that you guys wait, you&#8217;re just adding to the list of people just like us, letting children and adults die in these rear-end car accidents. It&#8217;s unnecessary,&#8221; he replied. <\/p>\n<p>Safety advocates would have preferred language mandating the regulation change without requiring the Secretary of Transportation to weigh in.<\/p>\n<p>The Frasers argue that any movement to action, sooner rather than later, is better than a perfect plan.<\/p>\n<p>Since CBS News&#8217; first story on this issue aired in October 2015, a conservative estimate is that at least 300 people have died in these kinds of crashes. Most are likely children.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation
