SEC. 24220. <<NOTE: 49 USC 30111 note.>>  ADVANCED IMPAIRED 
                            DRIVING TECHNOLOGY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) alcohol-impaired driving fatalities represent 
        approximately \1/3\ of all highway fatalities in the United 
        States each year;
            (2) in 2019, there were 10,142 alcohol-impaired driving 
        fatalities in the United States involving drivers with a blood 
        alcohol concentration level of .08 or higher, and 68 percent of 
        the crashes that resulted in those fatalities involved a driver 
        with a blood alcohol concentration level of .15 or higher;
            (3) the estimated economic cost for alcohol-impaired driving 
        in 2010 was $44,000,000,000;
            (4) according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 
        advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology can 
        prevent more than 9,400 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities 
        annually; and
            (5) to ensure the prevention of alcohol-impaired driving 
        fatalities, advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention 
        technology must be standard equipment in all new passenger motor

                      driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify 
                      whether that driver may be impaired; and
                          (ii) prevent or limit motor vehicle operation 
                      if an impairment is detected;
