Senate DRIVE Act would keep some CSA scores from public view, OK hair testing
One might say the Senate was "driven" Thursday night, working over its allotted hours and passing the House's $8 billion, three-month extension (HR 3236) and a measure of its own, H.R. 22, the DRIVE Act, which contained a provision to cut CSA percentile scores from public view.
The DRIVE Act also calls for developing a pilot program for under-21 interstate drivers and allowing hair testing for drug use rather than urine tests.
And oh yes, passed a funding "patch" to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent until October.
House and Senate leaders will take up the DRIVE Act this fall to work out a long-term highway funding fix, media sources reported.
