What changed in the latest version
29 added · 29 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of SB 402 adds an exemption for motor vehicles used specifically for transporting railroad personnel, which was not included in the previous version. Additionally, the new bill clarifies that vehicles for various transportation services, such as Medicaid nonemergency medical transportation, are subject to safety rules set by the commission without mentioning insurance requirements. These changes are significant because they broaden the types of vehicles eligible for exemptions, potentially easing regulations for these specific transportation services while ensuring they still adhere to safety protocols.
