Where can I read the full, verbatim text of Section 24220 in the enacted IIJA law?
Executive summary
The full, verbatim text of Section 24220 of the enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117–58) appears in the official enrolled law documents published when Congress enacted the IIJA and is available as a PDF of the public law and in government legislative archives (see links below) [1] [2] [3]. The provision, titled “Advanced Impaired‑Driving Technology,” and the statutory note where it is placed are also discussed in agency and advocacy reports that track implementation and subsequent legislative activity [4] [5] [6].
1. Where to read the verbatim text: official Public Law PDF
The authoritative source for the exact, enacted wording is the Public Law 117–58 enrolled act PDF; one accessible copy of that enrolled Public Law is hosted as a PDF of “135 STAT. 429 PUBLIC LAW 117–58—NOV. 15, 2021,” which contains Section 24220 in full [1].
2. Where to read the verbatim text: govinfo and official legislative compilations
The U.S. Government Publishing Office’s govinfo/comps compiled volume that reproduces Public Law 117–58 also includes Section 24220 and can be used to read the enacted text as part of the statutory compilation [2].
3. Where to read the verbatim text: GovTrack enrolled bill/archive view
Online legislative trackers that reproduce the enrolled text, such as the GovTrack “text/enr” page for H.R. 3684, provide the full enacted section text as published with the enrolled bill and are convenient, searchable reproductions of the same statutory language [3].
4. What the section actually says and requires (heads‑up from those sources)
The enacted Section 24220 is titled “Advanced Impaired‑Driving Technology” and directs the Secretary of Transportation—through NHTSA rulemaking—to establish a motor vehicle safety standard for passive, advanced impaired‑driving prevention systems within a statutory timetable (the IIJA directs final rule issuance not later than three years after enactment) and contemplates the systems monitoring either driver performance or blood alcohol concentration, language reflected in the enacted note and summarized in agency and advocacy reports [7] [4] [5].
5. Helpful companion documents for context, not substitutes for the verbatim text
For implementation detail, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration produced a Report to Congress on Advanced Impaired‑Driving Prevention Technology that explains how Section 24220 is being interpreted for rulemaking (useful context but not a substitute for the enacted language itself) [4], and advocacy groups such as MADD and technical working groups have produced analyses and fact sheets that summarize the statute’s intent and timetable [5] [6].
6. Political and legislative follow‑ups that affect reading the law
Readers should note there have been legislative moves to repeal or block implementation of Section 24220—bills and amendments have been introduced and floor actions have tried to prohibit funds or repeal the section entirely—which means the enacted text remains the authoritative source but its future and implementation timetable have been the subject of subsequent congressional activity (examples include proposed repeal language and appropriations prohibition amendments documented in congressional sources) [8] [9] [10].
