Transportation Asset Management Simplification Act
Sponsored By: Senator Cramer, Kevin [R-ND]
Introduced
Summary
A four-year compliance recertification cycle for state transportation asset management would replace annual checks and pair compliance reviews with the recertification schedule. It also creates a formal cure process with a minimum 90-day pause on penalties when states fall short.
Show full summary
- States would submit supporting information with recertification every four years. The submission covers the most recent year and must include a state certification that prior years met the asset-management requirements.
- If a state is found noncompliant the Secretary would send a written list of required fixes and provide at least a 90-day cure period during which penalties and legal impacts are stayed. The state may request extensions and the stay continues during any approved extension.
- Administration would operate a two-track rule where compliant states follow the four-year recertification cadence and noncompliant states remain in interim noncompliance until the Secretary determines they are back in compliance.

Four-year compliance reviews for states
This bill would make federal checks of state transportation asset plans happen every four years instead of yearly. A finding that a State is compliant would last until the next four-year recertification. A finding a State is noncompliant would last until the Secretary finds the State fixed the problems. If the Secretary finds noncompliance, they would send a written list of required fixes. The State would get at least 90 days to cure the problems. Penalties and other legal effects would be paused during the 90-day cure and during any Secretary-approved extension. States must submit supporting information when they recertify. The most recent year's data would be enough for timing. For older years, the State may provide a certification that its asset management met the rules.
