Plain-English Summary

This bill would update the safety screening process for truck drivers and motor carriers to use more modern methods and technology instead of outdated procedures. The changes would likely make it faster and more efficient for trucking companies to hire drivers while maintaining safety standards that protect the public on highways. Truck drivers, trucking companies, and highway safety regulators would all be affected by these updated screening requirements.
