What this bill would do

This bill is known as the "Deregulating Restrictions on Interstate Vehicles and Eighteen-wheelers Act" or the "DRIVE Act." It aims to prevent the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration from making certain new rules. Specifically, it stops the Administrator from requiring certain vehicles to have speed limiting devices. This applies to vehicles with a gross weight of more than 26,000 pounds that are operating in interstate commerce.
