South Dakota updates the federal motor carrier regulations it has adopted into state law by moving the reference date from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021, which means truck drivers and carriers must now follow the most recent federal safety and operating rules. This change ensures that South Dakota's trucking regulations stay current with the latest federal standards for things like driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, and hazardous materials transport.
