Why This Matters

A short bill introduced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) to repeal the Section 24220 mandate that all new passenger vehicles include impaired-driving detection technology starting with the 2027 model year. Currently sitting in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

If you do not want every new car required by law to monitor you while you drive, this is the bill that would stop it. It is currently stuck in committee and needs your representatives to act on it.

What changes is this bill making?
  1. 1Repeals Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Law, which requires every new car sold in America to have technology that monitors the driver and can shut the vehicle down if it detects impairment.
  2. 2If passed, NHTSA would no longer be required to issue a federal motor vehicle safety standard mandating advanced impaired-driving prevention technology.
  3. 3Critics of Section 24220 argue the mandate creates a de facto government kill switch and raises serious privacy and false-positive concerns. Supporters of the original mandate (including MADD) say the technology will save lives by reducing drunk driving.
Read the detailed summary

Repeals Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which directs NHTSA to require advanced impaired-driving prevention technology in all new passenger motor vehicles.
