Streamlining State Highway Safety Submissions Act

# Streamlining State Highway Safety Submissions Act (S 2911) - Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would simplify the process by which states submit highway safety plans and reports to the federal government. Currently, states must prepare multiple separate safety documents for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The bill aims to reduce this administrative burden by allowing states to combine these submissions into a single, streamlined document while still meeting federal safety requirements. **Who It Affects:** The primary beneficiaries would be state transportation departments and highway safety offices, which would spend less time and resources preparing redundant paperwork.

The changes could indirectly affect drivers and road users by freeing up state resources to focus more directly on safety improvements rather than paperwork compliance. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced to a full Senate vote. It was introduced by Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) in the current Congress. The bill has not yet been passed or become law.
