This bill would stop the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from issuing any rule or regulation that requires a commercial motor vehicle to be equipped with a speed limiting device set to a maximum speed. The bill text refers to the definition of "commercial motor vehicle" in 49 C.F.R. § 390.5 (or a successor regulation). It uses a "notwithstanding any other provision of law" clause to make that prohibition explicit.
If the bill becomes law, the FMCSA would be barred from creating a rule that forces covered commercial motor vehicles to have speed limiting devices set to a maximum speed. The text does not itself require removing any existing devices. No publicly available information in the provided materials describes which vehicles would be affected, how many vehicles, or specific practical effects for drivers, companies, or the public.
The bill text does not include a budget, cost estimate, or direct spending changes. No publicly available information in the provided materials about expected costs, savings, or a Congressional Budget Office estimate.
