HR 4601 United States House · 119th Congress

Seasonal Agriculture CDL Modernization Act

This bill modernizes the process for seasonal agricultural workers who need commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). It requires the Transportation Secretary to create online systems for easy license renewal (Section 2(a)) and clarifies that farm equipment like tractors and harvesters ("implements of husbandry") are not subject to commercial vehicle weight calculations (Section 2(b)). It directly affects farm-related service industries and their seasonal employees who operate restricted CDL vehicles. The changes simplify administrative processes and remove regulatory barriers for agricultural operations.
