An amendment that would keep any money earmarked in a new federal appropriations bill from being used to further a proposed federal mandate for speed limiters on commercial vehicles is one step closer to passing.

Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., filed the amendment as part of HR3354, an appropriations bill for the U.S. Departments of the Interior, Environment and other related agencies. It is co-sponsored by Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C.

Typical politicians.

They pulled that and sleep apnea in June:rolleyes:
Speed limiter mandate, sleep apnea stripped from Trump DOT agenda

In its latest biannual update to its regulatory calendar, the DOT has moved the speed limiter mandate, which was issued as a proposed rulemaking last September, to a long-term agenda item, away from the active rulemakings list. Given the erosion of industry support for a speed limiter rule over the past year and the Trump administration’s reluctance to implement new regulations, industry stakeholders assumed the Trump DOT would drop or stall the speed limiter rulemaking.

Thursday’s update to the DOT calendar confirmed those expectations.

You would think a association in touch with the industry would know that.
But they have decided to dance with the demons, and they are well trained to self promotion despite reality.

We’re thrilled that Congressmen Perry, LaMalfa, and Meadows filed an amendment to prohibit FMCSA from finalizing their proposed speed limiter mandate...

The amendment, No. 60, was “made in order” – clearing a necessary procedural hurdle – during a late night meeting of the House Rules Committee on Tuesday.


As Thumper would say...
FINGER!
