Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

The DRIVE Act is a Senate bill that would prevent the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from issuing any rule requiring commercial motor vehicles to be equipped with speed-limiting devices. In other words, if enacted, FMCSA could not mandate devices that cap a vehicle’s maximum speed. The bill’s short title is the Deregulating Restrictions on Interstate Vehicles and Eighteen-wheelers Act. The introduced bill, sponsored by Senators Daines along with co-sponsors Ernst, Cramer, Sheehy, Lee, Budd, Risch, and Crapo, was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Key language in the bill states that FMCSA may not issue any rule to require a speed-limiting device for a commercial motor vehicle defined under 49 CFR 390.5 (or successor regulation), effectively blocking federal speed-limiter standards even if other laws might suggest or allow such regulation. The provided text includes only Sections 1 and 2; no additional provisions are shown.
