Bill > HB1778

This bill proposes to clarify the distinction between commercial and noncommercial vehicles and the associated licensing and registration requirements. The key provisions are: - Defines "automobile" and "motorcycle" as self-propelled conveyances used for noncommercial travel, and "motor vehicle" as self-propelled conveyances used for commercial purposes. - Exempts automobiles and other noncommercial conveyances from registration, taxation, and driver's license requirements, considering them part of the common law "right to travel." - Requires the Department of Safety to provide exempt decals and identification cards for noncommercial vehicle owners and travelers. - Removes the cross-reference to the "right to travel" statute from the provisions on revoking original commercial licenses for young drivers. - Limits the commissioner's rulemaking authority to only commercial driver's licenses, removing provisions related to general driver's licenses. - Repeals numerous sections of law related to driver's license applications, examinations, and other requirements, effectively eliminating these for noncommercial vehicles and drivers.
