Joint resolution on automated vehicles

The bill title and version number were updated to reflect its status as an enrolled bill (SJ 16) rather than a draft (SJ0016.2), and standard certification signatures for the Senate and House were added.

Added specific language stating that federal regulation authority is based on the interstate commerce clause.

New requirement for automated vehicles to operate safely in snow, ice, mountain passes, and open range roads.

Expanded the list of recipients to include specific members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Commerce Committee.

A new clause was added stating that Montana has the highest rate of live animal-related fatal car crashes in the U.S. due to wildlife and livestock, framing this as a unique challenge for automated vehicles.

The order of the bill's sections was altered; the federal regulation request was moved after the new animal-related context clause, and the resolution's operative parts were moved to the end of the document.

Minor formatting changes were made to the header and line spacing throughout the document.

Bill number changed from LC 1344 to SJ 16, indicating it is now a Senate-led joint resolution.

Specific sponsors D. Loge and N. Duram were added to the introduction line.

The word 'CONGRESSIONAL' was capitalized to 'Congressional' in the distribution list.
