Senate passes bill updating state references to Federal Motor Carrier Regulations
Summary
Senate Bill 1, an annual update aligning state statute to current Federal Motor Carrier Regulations, was amended to remove a stylistic insertion and passed unanimously after floor action.
The South Dakota Senate amended and passed Senate Bill 1, which updates state references to Federal Motor Carrier Regulations, after a floor amendment was offered and adopted. The final passage was unanimous among senators present.
Senator Wheeler moved Amendment 1A to remove two words originally inserted by the bill’s drafter after staff review found the stylistic change had substantive effect. "This is the annual bill to update these statutes for our federal motor carrier regulations," Wheeler said, adding that the amendment would keep the statute in a simple form and maintain compliance with the federal rules necessary for funding.
After the amendment was adopted without recorded opposition, the Senate voted on final passage of SB 1 as amended. The secretary’s roll call recorded 35 yeas; the bill was declared passed and the title deemed correct.
