The House's bill is a six-year fund-
ing bill worth $325 billion. The legis-
lation would require Congressional
action in three years, however, to
re-up the bill's revenue mechanism.
The Senate's version, meanwhile,
is a six-year $275 billion package
that also would require more Con-
gressional action in three years
to "unlock" revenue for the act's
second half.
Other trucking reforms in the House
bill include measures to require
FMCSA to begin collecting truck
operator detention data, further
study motor carrier liability insur-
ance minimums and an amendment
that clarifi es Congressional intent
of a 1994 freight-focused act that
prevents states from enacting laws
that interfere with national freight
movement.

The House's STAA bill, like the Senate's DRIVE
Act, would remove CSA scores from public view,
at least temporarily.
