DRIVE Act
HR 2819, the DRIVE Act, prohibits the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration from requiring speed limiting devices on trucks weighing over 26,000 pounds operating in interstate commerce. This directly affects commercial truck drivers and carriers that operate large vehicles across state lines. The bill blocks the agency from implementing any rule mandating speed limiters that would cap these trucks' maximum speed. It prevents a potential new federal requirement for trucking companies without altering existing safety standards.
