A bill to require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on chameleon carriers in the United States and require the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to plan, develop, and test an advanced automation tool to help enforcement personnel detect chameleon carrier applications under the registration process of the Department of Transportation, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Comptroller General to study "chameleon carriers" in the United States — these are trucking or transportation companies that shut down and reopen under new names to avoid safety violations or penalties. It would also require the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to create and test an advanced automated tool to help enforcement staff identify these companies when they try to register as new carriers. No official summary is available for this bill.
