AI Summary
- Urges Congress to encourage the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Administrator to modify Crash Indicator BASIC regulation standards to include only crashes where the driver was at fault
- The FMCSA uses the Safety Measurement System (SMS) to assess commercial motor vehicle carriers across seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs): Unsafe Driving, Crash Indicator, Hours-of-Service Compliance, Vehicle Maintenance, Controlled Substances and Alcohol, Hazardous Materials Compliance, and Driver Fitness
- Currently, the Crash Indicator BASIC includes all state-reported crashes regardless of whether the carrier or driver was responsible, creating what the resolution describes as an inaccurate and incriminating portrayal of crash records
- Directs the Ohio House Clerk to transmit copies of the resolution to the President, Congress, the President Pro Tempore and Secretary of the U.S. Senate, the Speaker and Clerk of the U.S. House, Ohio Congressional delegation members, and Ohio news media
