To amend title 49, United States Code, with respect to the enforcement of certain safety requirements relating to commercial motor vehicle drivers, and for other purposes.
This bill would amend Title 49 of the United States Code to require nationwide weigh-station enforcement of certain safety requirements. Specifically, it adds a new section (31152) directing the Secretary to ensure that every state enforces sections 3 and 4 of Executive Order 14286, titled “Enforcing Commonsense Rules of the Road for America’s Truck Drivers” (signed April 28, 2025), on each commercial motor vehicle that enters a weigh station. The text also includes a clerical amendment to insert 31152 into the official index of sections. The mechanism uses a “Notwithstanding any other provision of law” clause, signaling that these enforcement obligations are intended to take priority over other legal constraints when applying the EO’s requirements at weigh stations.
