DRIVE Act

This bill seeks to prevent the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from imposing new regulations concerning speed limiting devices on commercial vehicles. Its central provision explicitly prohibits the FMCSA Administrator from issuing any rule or regulation that would require such devices to be installed and set to a maximum speed. The prohibition applies to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds that are engaged in interstate commerce . This legislative action aims to deregulate potential federal mandates on speed limitation technology for a significant segment of the commercial trucking industry, ensuring operators are not compelled to equip their heavy vehicles with these devices.
