## Summary

**Repeals the federal requirement to mandate advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention systems in certain passenger vehicles.** This bill would remove the section of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that required the Secretary of Transportation to issue a safety standard for passive systems that spot impairment or detect a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher and that prevent or limit vehicle operation. - Drivers and vehicle owners: Would not face a new federal requirement forcing cars to include passive impairment detection or automatic engine-limiting features. - Automakers and suppliers: Would not be required by this law to install these advanced impaired driving systems in covered passenger vehicles. - Federal regulators and rulemaking: Eliminates the statutory duty for the Secretary of Transportation to write regulations under IIJA Section 24220 and does not create new standards or enforcement mechanisms beyond that repeal.
