What changed in the latest version
34 added · 56 removedPlain-language change summary
The changes to Senate File 153 clarify that certain federal age restrictions for commercial motor vehicle drivers do not apply to specific deliveries made by retail dealers of fertilizers, petroleum products, and pesticides when they are operating within the state. This means that employees delivering these materials can be younger than 21, making it easier for local businesses to hire younger workers for these jobs. This amendment is significant because it could help address labor shortages in agricultural sectors by providing more employment opportunities to younger individuals.
