Summary of Bill HR 1137
The current law mandates that the Secretary of Transportation must issue regulations concerning advanced impaired driving technology. However, this bill seeks to eliminate this requirement, potentially allowing for more flexibility in how states and law enforcement agencies address impaired driving issues.
The purpose of this bill is not to undermine efforts to combat impaired driving, but rather to reassess the necessity of specific regulations and potentially streamline the process for implementing new technologies and strategies to address this critical issue. Overall, the Advanced Impaired Driving Technology Repeal Act aims to provide more autonomy and flexibility to states and law enforcement agencies in addressing impaired driving, while still prioritizing the safety and well-being of all individuals on the road.
Congressional Summary of HR 1137
No Kill Switches in Cars Act
This bill repeals a requirement that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration prescribe a federal motor vehicle safety standard that requires certain passenger vehicles to be equipped with advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology. Currently, there is no federal motor vehicle safety standard that requires the technology.
In general, advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology is a passive system that (1) monitors a driver's performance to identify driver impairment, or (2) accurately detects whether a driver's blood alcohol concentration is equal to or greater than 0.08%. The system must also prevent or limit vehicle operation if the system determines the driver may be intoxicated or impaired.
