HF 335: Relating to restricted commercial driver’s licenses for certain persons employed in designated farm-related service industries

What it does

176B requires the department of transportation (DOT) to adopt rules which allow exemptions from commercial driver’s license (CDL) requirements for suppliers of agricultural inputs or their employees while delivering such products to their customers, if allowed under federal law.49.176A(6). This bill strikes those provisions and instead requires the DOT to issue a restricted CDL to qualified persons who are employed in a designated farm-related service industry, as authorized under federal law.3(f).
