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 restrict the power of the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Specifically, it prevents the Administrator from issuing rules or regulations that would require certain commercial motor vehicles to have speed limiting devices. These devices would be set to a maximum speed.
