Senate Commerce Committee to Mark Up Six-Year Transportation Bill
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation will consider and vote July 15 on S. 1732, the Comprehensive Transportation and Consumer Protection Act of 2015.
The legislation, sponsored by committee Chairman John Thune (R-SD), Surface Subcommittee Chairman Deb Fischer (R-NE) and Consumer Protection Subcommittee Chairman Jerry Moran (R-KS), authorizes the office of the DOT secretary from Fiscal Year 2016 through FY 2021. Following committee approval of the legislation, S. 1732 will be combined with S. 1647, the DRIVE Act, and component legislation from other Senate committees on the Senate floor to form legislation commonly referred to as the surface transportation authorization bill.
The Senate Banking Committee and Senate Finance Committee, which have jurisdiction over the transit title and taxes that fund the highway trust fund, have not yet introduced legislation that would also be incorporated into the DRIVE Act.
