South Dakota updates its adoption of federal motor carrier safety regulations to reflect the most current versions as of January 1, 2022, instead of 2021. The bill also clarifies that intrastate drivers (those operating within South Dakota) are exempt from federal physical certification requirements unless their employer specifically requires it. These changes keep the state's trucking safety standards aligned with the latest federal regulations.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
