Bill > S1054

This bill modifies existing Florida law regarding commercial motor vehicle safety regulations. Specifically, it mandates that owners and drivers of certain commercial vehicles, including those transporting hazardous materials, must adhere to specific federal standards found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.), which are federal rules governing transportation. The bill inserts references to federal regulations concerning commercial driver's licenses and adds a subpart related to the designation of approval and certification agencies for hazardous material transporters. Importantly, it removes previous exemptions for transporting liquefied petroleum gas and clarifies that the section does not apply to non-public sector buses, aligning Florida's regulations more closely with federal requirements for enhanced safety in commercial transportation.
