New $1.7 trillion spending bill includes new rules for CMV safety
On December 29th, Congress passed the federal spending bill that will keep the government operating fiscally through September. In the bill, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is requested to commence its reevaluation of visibility regulations in regard to 10,000+ lb. commercial trucks. A special reflective tape was recommended to help regulate the issue.
The bill includes over $106 billion to be allocated to the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and its agencies and another $800 million for infrastructure improvements to be distributed across the nation via grants.
