Modernizes motor carrier safety screening by updating data review processes and appeals.

The Motor Carrier Safety Screening Modernization Act amends the employment screening process for motor carriers. It updates the DataQs program to include an appeals process for data reviews, ensuring affected parties can challenge decisions. It also mandates that during a contested safety violation, the report is labeled to indicate the contest in relevant databases. Additionally, it restricts adverse actions based on contested data until the review is complete.
