116-hr-8513 116 hr 8513 CSA Reform Act Transportation and Public Works 2020-10-02 2020-10-05 Referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit. House Rep. Gibbs, Bob [R-OH-7] OH R G000563 0 CSA Reform Act This bill revises the Compliance, Safety, and Accountability program of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to establish a motor carrier selection standard of care for brokers and other entities that contract with motor carriers for the shipment of goods or household goods. (A broker is a person, other than a motor carrier or an employee or agent of a motor carrier, that as a principal or agent sells, offers for sale, negotiates for, or holds itself out by solicitation, advertisement, or otherwise as selling, providing, or arranging for, transportation by motor carrier for compensation.) Specifically, the bill requires such entities to verify that a transporting motor carrier (1) is properly registered with the Department of Transportation (DOT); (2) has obtained the minimum required insurance coverage; and (3) is not determined unfit to safely operate commercial motor vehicles, or otherwise ordered to discontinue operations by the FMCSA or a state. Additionally, DOT must (1) prescribe by regulations a process for revoking the registration of an owner or operator determined unfit to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle, and (2) establish a pilot program to conduct remote safety compliance reviews to assign a safety rating for commercial motor carriers. 2023-01-11T13:44:35Z
