Debate on this bill is now open.

[Mr. Reactionary]

This was a previously debated bill to devolve some federal speed limit decisions to the Regions.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Can the laws that are amended and rescinded be linked here, so that I can have a look onto them. We are talking about rescinding laws. I want to see them to see possible consequences.

I'm not against moving the authority to set speed limits to the region, but I want to see the consequences of the laws affected, as well want to make aware that those organisations (FHA, NPS, NFS, BLM, the Coast Guard, FMCSA, OSHA, NHTSA) all have their uses.
