AI Summary

This bill, called the Developing Responsible Individuals for a Vibrant Economy Act (DRIVE-SAFE Act), directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish regulations for commercial motor vehicle drivers under the age of 21. The key provisions include: 1. An apprenticeship program that allows drivers under 21 to operate commercial vehicles in interstate commerce, consisting of a 120-hour probationary period and a 280-hour probationary period, during which the apprentice must meet certain performance benchmarks and be accompanied by an experienced driver. 2. Requirements for the commercial motor vehicles used by apprentices, such as automatic transmissions, collision mitigation systems, forward-facing video cameras, and speed governors. 3. Provisions for records retention, handling of reportable incidents, and completion of the apprenticeship program. 4. The Secretary of Transportation is required to promulgate regulations to implement the Act within one year of its enactment. The bill aims to provide a pathway for younger drivers to gain experience and training in operating commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce.
