No Kill Switches in Cars Act
Sponsored By: Representative Perry, Scott [R-PA-10]
Introduced
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.
Show full summary
- 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.

End mandate for car kill switches
If enacted, this bill would repeal Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. That section required the Transportation Department to issue rules for advanced impaired‑driving technology in new cars, sometimes called a "kill switch." Car makers would not face a federal mandate to add this system. This could lower compliance costs and ease privacy worries, but might reduce a road safety tool. The change would take effect upon enactment.
