Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 63-1-203, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Expand The Definition Of The Term "commercial Driver's License" For The Purpose Of Exempting County And Municipal Employees From The Requirement Of Possessing A Cdl To Operate Vehicles And Equipment Owned And Operated By The Local County Or Municipal Governing Authority; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to exempt county and municipal employees from needing a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) when operating vehicles and equipment owned and operated by their local government for job-related duties, provided these vehicles are not used for common or contract motor carrier operations. A CDL is a license required to operate certain large or heavy vehicles, or vehicles transporting hazardous materials, as defined by federal standards. This change expands the definition of what is considered a "commercial motor vehicle" by adding an exemption for these specific local government vehicles and equipment, ensuring that employees performing their official duties with these vehicles do not need a CDL.
