Bill > SB2075

This bill amends North Dakota state law to modify exemption rules for intrastate commercial drivers' record-keeping requirements. Specifically, the bill changes the conditions under which a driver operating within a 150-air-mile radius of their work location can be exempt from maintaining a detailed record of duty status. The key changes include extending the time a driver can be on duty from twelve to fourteen consecutive hours, and maintaining the requirement that drivers have at least ten consecutive hours off duty between work periods. Additionally, the motor carrier must still keep accurate time records showing when the driver reports and is released from duty each day, and these records must be retained for six months. The bill is declared an emergency measure, which typically means it will take effect immediately upon passage, and it received unanimous support in both the North Dakota Senate (47-0) and House of Representatives (91-0).
