One might say the Senate was "driven" Thursday night, working over its allotted hours and passing the House's $8 billion, three-month extension (HR 3236) and a measure of its own, H.R. 22, the DRIVE Act, which contained a provision to cut CSA percentile scores from public view.

The DRIVE Act also calls for developing a pilot program for under-21 interstate drivers and allowing hair testing for drug use rather than urine tests.

And oh yes, passed a funding "patch" to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent until October.

House and Senate leaders will take up the DRIVE Act this fall to work out a long-term highway funding fix, media sources reported.
