House concurs in technical motor‑vehicle amendments covering hands‑free rules and muffler inspections
Summary
The House concurred in the Senate proposal of amendment to S.326 addressing hands‑free cell‑phone rules for commercial drivers and technical changes related to motorcycle mufflers and annual inspections, following Transportation Committee review.
The House took up Senate Bill 326, a package of technical changes to motor‑vehicle laws, and concurred with the Senate proposal of amendment after Transportation Committee review.
The Transportation Committee reported two primary subjects: hands‑free operation language related to commercial drivers and a technical adjustment concerning motorcycle mufflers and the motorcycle vehicle annual inspection. The committee heard from legislative counsel and the deputy commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles and recommended concurrence.
The House concurred in the Senate amendment and later voted to message that action to the Senate for final processing.
What this means: changes are largely technical and intended to clarify enforcement and inspection requirements; the committee characterized them as noncontroversial updates.
