Summary
Existing law generally regulates the use of agricultural vehicles and defines agricultural vehicle to mean a vehicle or combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating or a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,000 pounds or less, if certain conditions are met, including that the vehicle is operated by a farmer or other specified individual and used exclusively in the conduct of agricultural operations when operating in commerce. Existing law, until January 1, 2023, exempts agricultural vehicles from the Basic Inspection of Terminals (BIT) program, which, among other things, makes it unlawful for a motor carrier to operate specified vehicles without identifying to the Department of the California Highway Patrol all terminals in the state where vehicles may be inspected by the department. Existing law requires the Department of the California Highway Patrol, in consultation with the Department of Motor Vehicles, to report to the Governor and the Legislature by January 1, 2022, about the impact of excluding agricultural vehicles from the BIT program. This bill would include a beekeeping vehicle as an agricultural vehicle for these purposes and would further require the Department of the California Highway Patrol and Department of Motor Vehicles to report to the Governor and the Legislature by January 1, 2022, about the impact of excluding agricultural vehicles used for beekeeping from the BIT program.
