Bill > HR2819

This bill, known as the DRIVE Act (Deregulating Restrictions on Interstate Vehicles and Eighteen-wheelers Act), prevents the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from implementing any regulations that would require large commercial vehicles weighing over 26,000 pounds - such as semi-trucks and other heavy interstate commercial vehicles - to be equipped with speed limiting devices. Essentially, the bill blocks potential future rules that would mandate electronic speed caps on trucks, preserving the current freedom for truck drivers and trucking companies to operate without federally mandated speed restrictions. By prohibiting such regulations, the bill aims to maintain operational flexibility for the trucking industry and prevent what some might view as unnecessary government intervention in commercial transportation practices.
