This bill amends several sections of the Motor Vehicle Operator's License Act to introduce provisions for hazardous materials endorsements for individuals who transport hazardous materials within the state. Specifically, it allows any person aged eighteen or older who holds a valid commercial driver's license to be issued a hazardous materials endorsement for intrastate hauling. The bill also harmonizes existing provisions and repeals the original sections of the law that are being amended.

Key amendments include the insertion of new language that specifies the applicability of the act to commercial motor vehicle operations and the inclusion of the new section regarding hazardous materials endorsements. The bill clarifies definitions related to commercial motor vehicle operations, such as "disqualification," "downgrade," and "endorsement," and ensures compliance with federal regulations aimed at enhancing safety and reducing accidents involving commercial vehicles.
