Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 2359 make a couple of key changes regarding the restricted commercial driver’s license for certain farm workers. First, it clarifies that the license will include specific restrictions and seasonal periods as defined by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, rather than just stating those restrictions from a federal regulation. Additionally, the fee for this license has been established at $10 per seasonal period. These changes help ensure that the licensing process is clear and accessible for workers in farm-related services during specific times of the year.
