House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes amendments to the classification and motor carrier certificate laws in Montana, specifically targeting Class D motor carriers. The bill revises Section 69-12-314 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to stipulate that Class D 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 bill is the requirement that a motor carrier must intend to engage or actually engage in the transportation of garbage on a regular basis as part of their usual business operations to qualify for a Class D certificate. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. This legislative change aims to clarify the operational requirements for Class D motor carriers and ensure that only those engaged in the specified transportation of garbage can hold the relevant certificate.
