DRIVE to HALT Drunk Driving Act

This bill would require large vehicle makers, those that made, sold, or imported more than 250,000 motor vehicles in the second most recent year, to make, sell, or import at least 10,000 passenger vehicles per year that meet the DADSS drunk-driving detection specifications. Within 180 days of enactment, they would also have to make, sell, or import at least 10,000 passenger vehicles per year that meet impaired-driving sections of the European New Car Assessment Programme version 10.3. If the European program revises that standard, the revised version would replace it within 120 days unless the Secretary of Transportation decides, after public comment, that it does not meet motor vehicle safety needs. Violations would be subject to existing federal civil penalties, and the requirements would end when a federal impaired-driving prevention rule required by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act takes effect.
