Summary
This bill seeks to prevent the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from implementing new regulations concerning speed control on commercial motor vehicles. Its central provision explicitly prohibits the FMCSA Administrator from issuing any rule or promulgating any regulation that would require these vehicles to be equipped with speed limiting devices . This includes any mandate for such devices to be set to a specific maximum speed. The legislation's objective is to ensure that federal agencies cannot impose new equipment requirements related to speed limiters on commercial trucks. By doing so, it aims to maintain the current regulatory landscape and prevent federal mandates that could affect interstate vehicle operations.
