Safety Grant Consistency Act
The Safety Grant Consistency Act (S 2788) prevents the Transportation Secretary from creating new requirements for highway safety grant programs after the bill passes. It specifically stops the Secretary from adding new performance measures or rules not in place before the law's enactment date. The bill requires easing or removing any existing grant requirements that weren't explicitly authorized by Congress. This directly affects states and local governments that receive federal highway safety funding, ensuring their programs remain consistent with current law. The bill makes no changes to funding levels or safety standards, only maintaining existing administrative rules.
