What it does
Current law provides that a person who operates a motor vehicle in the transportation of passengers for wages, compensation, or hire, or who operates a truck tractor, road tractor, or motor truck weighing more than 16,000 pounds, is considered a chauffeur subject to specific driver’s licensing requirements. This bill amends the definition of “chauffeur” to exclude a farmer or the farmer’s hired help who is operating a truck tractor owned by the farmer and used exclusively to transport the farmer’s own products or property to a destination no more than 100 miles from farmland owned or rented by the farmer as measured by calculating the straight-line distance between the farmland and the destination.
