Exempting common carriers and contract carriers of solid waste
SB 699 exempts common carriers and contract carriers transporting solid waste for commercial or industrial customers from certain state transportation regulations. It specifically applies to waste haulers moving solid waste from business locations to disposal or recycling facilities, excluding residential waste collection. The exemption does not remove all requirements; these carriers must still comply with state safety and insurance rules set by the transportation commission. This bill directly affects business waste hauling companies operating within West Virginia.
