Motor Carrier Safety Selection Standard Act

HR 915 requires businesses that contract with motor carriers (like shippers, brokers, or freight forwarders) to verify three safety and compliance details before shipping goods: 1) the carrier's valid registration, 2) minimum required insurance coverage, and 3) that the carrier is not disqualified for safety reasons by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) or a state. This verification must occur 45 days before shipment. The bill creates a temporary standard that expires when new FMCSA regulations are issued within 18 months of enactment. It does not change carrier safety rules but sets a new requirement for businesses selecting carriers.
