Federal crime for staged commercial vehicle crashes
If enacted, this would make it a federal crime to intentionally cause or arrange a crash with a commercial motor vehicle, as defined by federal law. A convicted person could be fined and jailed for up to 20 years. If the crash causes serious injury or death, prison would be at least 20 years, plus possible fines. This targets people who stage crashes with commercial vehicles.
No federal case after state verdict
If enacted, the federal government would not bring this charge if a State, D.C., or a U.S. territory already convicted or acquitted the person for the same act. This would apply only when the state or territorial case was decided on the merits. It would prevent a second federal case for the same alleged staged-crash act.
