Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill repeals Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, removing the statutory requirement that the Secretary of Transportation issue regulations related to "advanced impaired driving technology." In plain terms, the federal mandate to promulgate specific rules about such vehicle technologies would be eliminated. The bill does not itself prescribe alternative federal rules or mandate state action.
Safety vs liberty: left emphasizes crash reduction; right emphasizes avoiding mandates.
Narrow deregulatory bill with low fiscal cost; likely to clear House if aligned with chamber priorities, though safety opposition could mobilize against it.

Likely views the repeal as removing an important federal safety mandate that could reduce impaired-driving harms.
Concerned the change delays or prevents nationwide deployment of technology that could save lives, especially without strong state action.
Mixed view: appreciates avoiding a one-size-fits-all federal mandate but worries about losing coordinated safety standards.
Would weigh regulatory costs and public-safety evidence before taking a firm position.
Likely supports the repeal as protection against federal overreach and unwanted "kill switch" mandates in private vehicles.
Emphasizes individual liberty, industry autonomy, and state control over vehicle rules.
