FAIR Trucking Act

This bill would give federal district courts original jurisdiction over civil lawsuits claiming bodily harm or death involving commercial motor vehicles operating on public roads in interstate commerce. It applies when the amount in dispute is more than $5,000,000, not counting interest and costs. At least one plaintiff and one defendant must be citizens of different states, or one side must involve a foreign country or foreign citizen. The bill also sets rules for when a plaintiff's citizenship is determined and treats an unincorporated association as a citizen of both the state where its main business is and the state where it was organized.
