Transportation Bill Signed into Law July 6

President Barack Obama signed HR-4348, which extends funding for surface transportation programs for two years, during a July 6 ceremony with construction workers, the White House said in a press release. The legislation includes some new financial requirements for domestic transport brokers but largely exempts brokers dealing with international trade.
