Bill > HR1137

This bill aims to repeal Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which previously required the Secretary of Transportation to develop regulations around advanced impaired driving technology. By eliminating this section, the bill effectively removes the government's mandate to create standards or requirements for vehicle technologies designed to prevent impaired driving, such as systems that could detect driver intoxication or prevent a vehicle from operating if the driver appears to be impaired. The bill's title, "No Kill Switches in Cars Act," suggests opposition to mandatory technological interventions that could automatically disable or restrict a vehicle's operation based on perceived driver impairment. While the bill's language is brief, it represents a significant potential shift in approach to addressing impaired driving by removing a regulatory requirement that might have led to the development of mandatory vehicle safety technologies.
