This is a summary of the bill proposed by Alexander and Pryor. You can check it for yourself by doing a search for the "Commercial Driver Compliance Improvement Act." I did cut and paste the summary from the text. As you can see, if the bill passes as proposed, it will require ALL owners of class 8 trucks to install EOBR's if they are require to comply with the hours of service rules. Apparently, they want to exclude owners who have trucks that run local.
