The SAFETY Act provides incentives for
the development and deployment of ATTs by creating a system of
"risk management" and a system of "litigation management". The
purpose of the Act is to ensure that the threat of liability does
not deter potential manufacturers or sellers of ATTs from
developing and commerializing technologies that could significant
reduce the risks or mitigate the effects of large-scale terrorist
events. Without these protections important technologies are not
being deployed to counter harm resulting from a terrorist
attack.
