What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Transportation Asset Management Simplification Act," aims to amend title 23 of the United States Code. It seeks to change how transportation asset management plans are handled by moving from annual requirements to a cycle of once every 4 years. The bill adjusts how states are determined to be in compliance or noncompliance with these plans. It also establishes a process for states to submit information in conjunction with recertification. Additionally, it provides a mechanism for states to cure deficiencies and requests for extensions to stay penalties.
Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Simplified Reporting Requirements: The bill changes the requirement for submitting plans from "each fiscal year" to "once every 4 years, in conjunction with the recertification" (Section 2, amending paragraph (5)(A)). This could simplify the administrative process for states.
-
Opportunity to Fix Errors: If a state is found to be out of compliance, the Secretary must provide a written statement of necessary actions and a period of at least 90 days to fix the issues (Section 2, amending paragraph (5)(D)(i)).
-
Protection from Immediate Penalties: During the 90-day period to cure deficiencies, all penalties and other legal impacts of a noncompliance determination are stayed (Section 2, amending paragraph (5)(D)(i)).
-
Flexibility for States: The Secretary has the authority to extend the time provided to a state to cure deficiencies, which includes extending the stay on penalties and legal impacts (Section 2, amending paragraph (5)(D)(i) and paragraph (6)(C)).
