This bill died with 2023 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

What changed in the latest version
1536 added · 1345 removedPlain-language change summary
The changes made to Bill HB 470 clarify the definition of "commercial motor vehicle" by removing unnecessary language about operating interstate versus intrastate. Additionally, it simplifies the weight thresholds for what qualifies as a commercial vehicle, now stating that any vehicle over 10,000 pounds or designed to carry more than 8 passengers qualifies as commercial. This matters because it broadens the definition and makes it easier to enforce regulations, potentially enhancing safety on highways.
