Summary

The bill updates the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s screening program so motor carriers can access a driver’s crash and serious safety violation records for both pre‑employment and ongoing employment checks. It also tightens the DataQs system by requiring contested violations to be clearly labeled and ensuring appeals are decided by someone other than the original violator. The changes aim to improve safety oversight while protecting drivers’ rights.
