The bill revises the classification and motor carrier certificate laws in Montana, specifically amending Section 69-12-314 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). It establishes that Class D motor carriers must possess a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the commission, which authorizes them to transport specific commodities. A significant change in the law is the requirement that a motor carrier must intend to engage or actually engage in the transportation of garbage on a regular basis to qualify for a Class D motor carrier certificate. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. This change aims to clarify the operational requirements for Class D motor carriers and ensure that only those actively involved in garbage transportation can hold the relevant certificate.
