Bill 119 HR 880, also known as the Household Goods Mover Oversight Enforcement and Reform Act, aims to amend title 49 of the United States Code to clarify the authority of the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in regulating the shipping of household goods. The bill seeks to enhance oversight and enforcement measures to ensure the safety and security of consumers using moving services.
Specifically, the bill addresses issues related to the licensing and registration of household goods movers, as well as the enforcement of regulations governing their operations. It also aims to improve transparency and accountability within the industry by requiring movers to provide accurate and detailed information to consumers about their services and pricing.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions to strengthen penalties for violations of regulations and to enhance the FMCSA's ability to investigate complaints and take enforcement actions against non-compliant movers. Overall, the bill seeks to protect consumers from fraudulent and unsafe practices in the household goods moving industry while promoting fair competition and accountability among movers.
