HOV Lane Exemption Reauthorization Act
This bill extends the expiration date for a provision allowing certain vehicles to use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes without meeting standard occupancy requirements. Specifically, it amends federal law to change the deadline from September 30, 2025, to September 30, 2031. The change directly affects drivers and vehicle operators who currently qualify for this exemption under existing rules. It is a procedural reauthorization, not a policy change, maintaining the current HOV lane exemption rules for an additional six years.
