FIRST ON FOX: Sens. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., and Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., on Wednesday introduced a bill to mitigate supply chain disruptions with trucking industry reforms.
“One of the first steps towards fixing our current supply chain crises is to increase the number of truck drivers delivering goods to stores around the country,” Lummis said in a Wednesday statement to Fox News Digital. “As a rural state, Wyoming is particularly reliant on trucking, but streamlining commercial driver’s licensing and getting rid of overly burdensome regulations will benefit everyone, whether you live in Manhattan or Cheyenne.”
The Licensing Individual Commercial Exam-takers Now Safely and Efficiently (LICENSE) Act, sponsored by bipartisan Reps. Darin LaHood, R-Ill.; Troy Balderson, R-Ohio; Henry Cuellar, D-Texas; and Josh Harder, D-Calif., would make permanent several waivers implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) last November in response to COVID-19.
