This bill amends several sections of the Motor Vehicle Operator's License Act to introduce provisions for hazardous materials endorsements for individuals who haul hazardous materials intrastate. Specifically, it allows any person who is eighteen years of age or older and holds a valid commercial driver's license to be issued a hazardous materials endorsement. 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 the operation of commercial motor vehicles and the inclusion of the new section regarding hazardous materials endorsements. The bill aims to enhance safety and compliance with federal regulations related to commercial motor vehicle operation, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and injuries associated with hazardous materials transportation.
