Bill > HB517

This bill revises the law regarding Class D motor carrier certificates, which are specific permits issued by the commission for transporting certain commodities, primarily garbage. The key change is in the language describing when a motor carrier can possess or operate with a Class D certificate, adding the phrase "intends to engage or" before "actually engages" in garbage transportation as part of their usual business operation. This modification appears to broaden the criteria for obtaining a Class D certificate by allowing carriers who plan to transport garbage (in addition to those already doing so) to qualify for the certificate. The bill also includes a provision that makes the law effective immediately upon passage and approval by the legislature. The amendment is specifically to Section 69-12-314 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), which governs motor carrier classification and certification requirements.
