Seasonal Agriculture CDL Modernization Act
This bill modernizes restrictions on commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) for seasonal agricultural workers. It requires the Transportation Secretary to create online systems for farm-related businesses and seasonal workers to easily renew restricted CDLs within one year of enactment. The bill also clarifies that agricultural equipment ("implements of husbandry") are not considered commercial vehicles and are exempt from weight calculations. These changes directly affect seasonal farm workers and agricultural service businesses that rely on specialized vehicle operations. The policy focuses on simplifying license renewals and removing regulatory confusion around farm equipment.
