Moving Forward Act - In the House Democratic infrastructure proposal, NACD lobbied for general infrastructure improvements paired with revenue-stabilizing measures in addition to small changes to existing transportation law. NACD advocated for the inclusion of the DRIVE Safe Act language into HR2 as well as changes proposed to the Hazmat title to clarify the status of goods in rail containers. NACD opposes the change to increase the minimum commercial motor vehicle insurance from $750,000 to $2,000,000. Rail Reform - NACD advocated for a full Surface Transportation Board to review and resolve issues related to rail. NACD advocated for rail reform as it relates to competitive switching and demurrage fees. NACD advocated in favor of the House, Senate, and joint resolutions to avoid a rail labor strike that passed both Chambers. Specifically, advocated in support of 1) H.J.Res.100 that provides for a resolution with respect to the unresolved disputes between certain railroads represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee of the National Railway Labor Conference and certain of their employees, and S.J.Res.61 a joint resolution requires the parties to the disputes between certain railroads and labor organizations to accept the recommendations in the report of the Presidential Emergency Board Numbered 250 that was issued on August 16, 2022, with respect to any such disputes that remain unresolved by 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 16, 2022. Additionally, NACD advocated for a separate amendment to the resolution, H.Con.Res.119, which would grant workers seven paid sick days. Specifically, it was a concurrent resolution that would provide for seven days of sick leave for railroad employees under the terms of the most recent tentative agreements, side letters, and local carrier agreements entered into by the parties to the disputes between certain railroads and labor organizations. The resolution that guaranteed seven paid sick days for rail workers, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives, could not overcome the filibuster in the U.S. Senate despite receiving bipartisan support. Additionally, NACD advocated regarding NACDs support for including additional paid sick days in any legislated rail labor agreement. Support of the DRIVE-Safe Act - On March 20, 2021, The Developing Responsible Individuals for a Vibrant Economy Act (H.R. 1745) was introduced in the House by Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN) and a bipartisan mix of eight original cosponsors (4 republicans and 4 democrats). Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) and a bipartisan mix of seven original cosponsors (3 republicans, 3 democrats, and 1 independent) also introduced the Senate companion bill (S. 659). Currently, 48 states allow individuals to obtain commercial driver licenses at age 18; however, those states prohibit drivers until they are 21 from moving goods across state lines. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations relating to commercial motor vehicle drivers under the age of 21.

General support for H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Specifically, support of additional funding for ports and the inclusion of the DRIVE Safe Act or a similar pilot program in the bill package. In opposition to this legislation surrounding the reinstatement of the Superfund excise tax. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed Congress in November and on November 15, the President signed the bipartisan $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) into law. NACD advocated against the reinstatement of the Superfund tax in H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act as a pay-for. Unfortunately, this package included reinstatement of Superfund Taxes. The Superfund Tax on chemicals is being sold as a fee on chemicals, but it is really a new tax on consumers. The 42 chemicals identified for taxation are the building blocks for a limitless number of goods, including steel, plastics, wood products, copper, cement, glass, pesticides, fungicides, pharmaceuticals, rubber, paint and coatings, batteries, solar panels, soap and detergents, ceramics, textiles, semiconductors, water treatment, light bulbs, refrigerants, dental fillings, fireworks and consumer electronics. The Superfund Tax on chemicals will also impede the goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework by making the components of infrastructure more expensive-including clean energy building blocks such as renewable energy, advanced coatings, energy efficiency solutions and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. The Superfund Tax on chemicals will also make U.S. manufacturers less competitive. Additionally, NACD advocated for full repeal of the Superfund Tax in 2022, as well as partial repeal/exclusion of certain specific chemicals not manufactured in the US. NACD advocated for legislation to be introduced that would require the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to conduct a review of any systemic decisions by ocean carriers to discriminate against maritime transport of hazmat. Ocean common carriers have continued to refuse service to imports of hazardous material shipments via maritime transport, possibly against the law. The legislation was not introduced in 2021 but was included in the Senate bill S.3580 that passed the Senate on March 31, 2022. NACD has advocated in support of H.R.4996 - the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 introduced by Reps. John Garamendi (D-CA) and Dusty Johnson (R-SD), and S. 3580 - the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 - introduced by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and John Thune (R-SD), legislation that would be the first update to federal regulations for the global ocean shipping industry since 1998. This legislation addresses the ongoing supply chain crisis and safeguards US imports and exporters from unfair trade practices. The bill would ensure a more competitive global ocean shipping industry, protect American businesses and consumers from price gouging, and establish reciprocal trade opportunities to reduce the United States longstanding trade imbalance with export-driven countries like China. H.R.4996 passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 364-60 on December 8, 2021. S.3580 passed the Senate unanimously on March 31, 2022. Moving Forward Act - In the House Democratic infrastructure proposal, NACD lobbied for general infrastructure improvements paired with revenue-stabilizing measures in addition to small changes to existing transportation law. NACD advocated for the inclusion of the DRIVE Safe Act language into HR2 as well as changes proposed to the Hazmat title to clarify the status of goods in rail containers. NACD opposes the change to increase the minimum commercial motor vehicle insurance from $750,000 to $2,000,000. Rail Reform - NACD advocated for a full Surface Transportation Board to review and resolve issues related to rail. NACD advocated for rail reform as it relates to competitive switching and demurrage fees. Support of the DRIVE-Safe Act - On March 20, 2021, The Developing Responsible Individuals for a Vibrant Economy Act (H.R. 1745) was introduced in the House by Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN) and a bipartisan mix of eight original cosponsors (4 republicans and 4 democrats). Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) and a bipartisan mix of seven original cosponsors (3 republicans, 3 democrats, and 1 independent) also introduced the Senate companion bill (S. 659). Currently, 48 states allow individuals to obtain commercial driver licenses at age 18; however, those states prohibit drivers until they are 21 from moving goods across state lines. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations relating to commercial motor vehicle drivers under the age of 21.
