They’re Fast, We’re Furious Act of 2025
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Creates a Federal Bureau of Investigation–led Street Racing Prevention and Intervention Task Force. The task force membership is specified (DOJ, DOT/NHTSA, state/local law enforcement, FBI) and must study prevalence, develop best practices, create and distribute educational materials, and coordinate intergovernmental responses.
Public safety benefits versus risk of increased policing
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill creates a narrowly-scoped, time-limited federal task force with clear membership, duties, and reporting requirements appropriate for a study/commission instrument.

Why the argument around this bill splits.
Public safety benefits versus risk of increased policing
Likely cautiously supportive of a public-safety focused, nonpunitive approach that emphasizes prevention and education.
Concerned that an FBI-led task force could increase policing or criminalization of youth and marginalized communities without explicit civil rights safeguards.
Generally favorable as a targeted, time-limited study and coordination mechanism to address a clear public-safety problem.
Wants clarity on costs, measurable outcomes, and avoidance of duplicative federal action.
Skeptical about expanding federal involvement and FBI leadership over what is often a state or local law-enforcement problem.
Supports reducing dangerous driving but worries about federal overreach and resource diversion.
