     § 1799.  Restraint system.
        (a)  General rule.--All insurance companies authorized to
     write private passenger automobile insurance within this
     Commonwealth shall provide premium discounts for motor vehicles
     equipped with passive restraint devices. These discounts shall
     apply to the first party benefits coverage and shall be approved
     by the commissioner as part of the insurer's rate filing,
     provided that such discounts shall not be less than 15% for
     passive seat belts, 20% for one airbag on the operator's side of
     the vehicle and 30% for two airbags. Some or all of the premium
     discounts required by this subsection may be omitted upon
     demonstration to the commissioner in an insurer's rate filing
     that the discounts are duplicative of other discounts provided
     by the insurer or specifically reflected in the insurer's
     experience.
        (b)  Definitions.--As used in this subsection, the following
     words and phrases shall have the meanings given to them in this
     subsection unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

     system which requires no action of the vehicle occupants and
     complies with standard 571.208 of the National Traffic Safety
     Administration or its successor.
