Bill > HB114

This bill updates Georgia's legal reference date for federal motor carrier and commercial motor vehicle safety regulations from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill amends Code Section 40-1-8 to modify the definition of "present regulations" in the context of motor vehicle safety rules. The term "present regulations" refers to regulations promulgated under Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 C.F.R.), which governs transportation and safety standards for commercial motor vehicles and carriers. By updating the reference date, the bill ensures that Georgia's state regulations remain aligned with the most current federal transportation safety guidelines. The bill maintains the existing definitions of "Commissioner" (the commissioner of public safety) and "Department" (the Department of Public Safety) while making this technical update to the regulatory reference date.
