AI Summary
This bill, the Responsible and Efficient Agriculture Destination Act, amends the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 to modify the exemptions from service hour requirements for drivers transporting agricultural commodities. The bill removes the requirement that the exemption only applies during planting and harvesting seasons, as determined by each state, and instead allows the exemption to be utilized year-round within a 150 air-mile radius from the source or destination of the agricultural commodities. This change provides more flexibility for agricultural operations in managing their transportation needs.
