summary | **Summary:**
- **Proposed Bills:** Republican members in Congress have introduced bills aiming to repeal or block a federal mandate for speed limiters on heavy trucks. - **SENTE-4317 (Sensenbrenner):** This bill seeks to prohibit the Department of Transportation from implementing any rule or regulation that requires trucks over 26,000 pounds to have speed limiters. - **HR-835 (Johnson):** This bill aims to prevent funds from being used to implement a mandate on speed limiters for commercial trucks.
- **Background:** The potential federal mandate for speed limiters stems from an executive order signed by President Biden in January 2021, which directed the Transportation Department to consider requiring new heavy-duty vehicles to be equipped with speed limiting technology set at or below 65 miles per hour.
- **Current Status:** As of now, these bills are pending in their respective committees (House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for HR-835, Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation for SENTE-4317).
**Unrelated Update:** The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance has updated its out-of-service criteria following an executive order. This change requires commercial drivers without English proficiency to be pulled off the road if their inability to speak English poses a safety risk. |
