Federal law pre-empts Ala. coil law: ruling

摘要

Federal laws override an Alabama law regulating the securement of metal coils on trucks, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has ruled. "FMCSA has determined there is insufficient support for the claimed safety benefits and that the (Alabama law) places an unreasonable burden on interstate commerce," according to the decision published March 5 in the Federal Register.
