Senate Bill S.1950 Did Not Make it out of Committee

Senate Bill S.1950 (Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Enhancement Act) did not survive Wednesday's markups in committee.  Texas Senator Hutchinson, ranking member on the Commerce Committee, urged rejection of the amendment because they lacked time to review work on the amendment. 

The bill is best known for its individual safety ideas.  However, it was the establishment of a National Freight Rail policy that seemed to solidify opposition to the bill.
