Sponsored By: Representative Johnson, Dusty [R-SD-At Large]

In Committee

Summary

This bill would stop the Transportation Department from buying or funding certain foreign-linked LiDAR systems. The main goal is to bar procurement and federally funded use of covered foreign-made LiDAR while preserving narrow safety research exceptions.

Show full summary
  • Transportation procurement and contracts: Prohibits the Secretary of Transportation from obtaining covered LiDAR or contracting with entities that will use it unless those entities certify no covered LiDAR will be used in performance of the contract.
  • Grant and loan recipients: Forbids the use of any Department loan or grant funds to procure or use covered LiDAR in agreements where the Department provides funding.
  • Safety testing and research: Keeps exemptions for testing, research, evaluation, analysis, or training related to vehicle safety so safety work can continue.
  • Waivers and timing: The Secretary can grant case-by-case waivers with a written certification to two congressional committees at least 15 days before the activity, and the prohibitions apply to obligations or contracts on or after June 30, 2026.

New LiDAR rules for DOT contractors

If enacted, DOT contractors and recipients of DOT loans or grants would be barred from buying or using certain covered LiDAR from specified foreign sources. Starting with obligations and contracts on or after June 30, 2026, firms would need to certify they will not use covered LiDAR in contract work. DOT loan or grant money could not be spent on such LiDAR. The rule would not apply to motor vehicle safety exemptions, motor carrier safety waivers, or safety testing, research, evaluation, analysis, or training. The Transportation Secretary could grant a case-by-case waiver after notifying two congressional committees at least 15 days before the activity.
