The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urging the United States Congress to revise the current commercial driver's license (CDL) laws. It highlights the burdensome and confusing nature of federal CDL requirements, particularly for small businesses and rural school districts. The resolution specifically calls for changes that would exempt individuals driving pickup trucks hauling nonhazardous materials on a single trailer from needing a commercial driver's license. Additionally, it seeks to establish a less burdensome and cost-effective licensing requirement for school bus drivers, acknowledging the challenges faced by rural districts and the often senior citizen volunteers who drive these buses.

The resolution emphasizes the need for a more rational approach to CDL regulations, particularly in light of the lack of federal oversight on certain types of hauling, such as recreational vehicles. It aims to alleviate the regulatory burden on small haulers and improve the situation for school bus drivers, thereby supporting local communities and businesses. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to various congressional committees and state legislatures to garner support for these proposed changes.
