HR 6850 United States House · 119th Congress

DRIVE to HALT Drunk Driving Act

This bill requires large auto manufacturers (those producing over 250,000 vehicles annually) to make at least 10,000 passenger vehicles per year meeting two specific safety standards: one for a U.S. impairment detection system (DADSS) and another based on a European car safety assessment (ENCAP 10.3). It applies directly to major vehicle manufacturers selling in the U.S., mandating these standards within 180 days of enactment. The bill expires when a related rule from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act takes effect. It does not specify enforcement penalties but references existing civil penalties for noncompliance.
