AL HJR198

Urges U.S. Congress to review Electronic Logging Device (ELD) and Hours of Service (HOS) mandates implemented by the Department of Transportation in December 2017 as part of the MAP-21 Act.

States that ELD compliance creates approximately $2 billion in annual compliance costs with disproportionate impact on small businesses and agriculture industries.

Contends that ELD and HOS requirements endanger livestock welfare and safety, create cybersecurity concerns, and apply a "one-size-fits-all" approach that ignores regional differences.

Requests Congress create more flexibility in Federal Motor Carrier Administration regulations to reduce burdens on agriculture and small business industries.

Directs copies of the resolution be sent to all members of Alabama's Congressional Delegation and the President of the United States.
