While U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has promised broad deregulation across the department, the Trump administration is poised to increase enforcement of English language requirements for truck drivers and encourage traffic enforcement on state highways, regulator attorneys said this week.
Duffy released a list of 52 deregulatory actions across the agency Thursday, removing outdated and duplicative rules related to the commercial trucking industry, federal highways and traffic safety, said McCarter & English partner Ronald Leibman. Many of these actions were already in motion during the Biden administration, Leibman added.
