Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

DRIVE-SAFE Act

Key claim: The DRIVE-SAFE Act (HR5563, 119th Congress) was referred to the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, advancing legislation on commercial driver apprenticeship and interstate highway safety.

Abstract

(HR5563 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-12-01): Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.

Why this matters

The DRIVE-SAFE Act would open interstate commercial trucking to 18–20-year-old apprentices, a longstanding industry request tied to driver shortage concerns and countered by safety groups citing higher crash rates for young drivers. Its referral to subcommittee is a procedural step, but tracking status matters because any enacted framework would shift FMCSA’s baseline age and training rules for interstate CDL operation.
