HAULS Act of 2025

This bill, the HAULS Act of 2025, modifies federal rules for transporting agricultural goods by removing seasonal restrictions on truck drivers. It eliminates the requirement that agricultural transport must occur "during planting and harvest periods" and expands the definition of "agricultural commodity" to include livestock (like fish and insects), nonprocessed animal products (milk, eggs, honey), and minimally processed fruits/vegetables. The change directly affects commercial drivers transporting these expanded categories of goods within a 150-mile radius of their source or destination. The key mechanism is the updated definition, requiring the Transportation Secretary to revise federal regulations within 180 days to include these new categories.
