Establish a national database to track and manage the registration of motor vehicles.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

Known asYODA

What’s happening with YODA?

The effort to create a national vehicle database is currently represented by H.R. 8652, which has been in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce since May 3, 2026. Committee members must decide to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills fail because committees do not take action. This outcome is common as the vast majority of legislative proposals never receive a committee vote.
