SB 163-DEFINITION OF COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES
1:32:03 PM
CHAIR STEDMAN announced the consideration of SB 163.
1:32:39 PM
DAN SMITH, Director, Division of Measurement Standards and
Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Alaska Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities, Juneau, Alaska, summarized
SB 163 as follows:
The main portion of this bill changes the rules for
farmers operating farm vehicles away from their farms.
The present law requires that after 150 miles from
their farm, then we would regulate them as a motor
carrier of either property, HazMat, whatever the case
may be. This rule would allow them to operate anywhere
in the state and in a big state like Alaska where we
have operations from Point MacKenzie up to Delta,
that's a long way to go and this would provide some
relief from regulations for drivers of those farm
vehicles.
SENATOR WILSON asked if the continuous-driving limitations for
commercial drivers would apply to the drivers of farm vehicles.
MR. SMITH replied that farmers would be exempt.
1:34:24 PM
SENATOR EGAN moved to report SB 163, [version: 30-GS2597\A],
from committee with individual recommendations and attached
fiscal note.
1:34:28 PM
CHAIR STEDMAN announced that there being no objection, the
motion carried.
