This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia, specifically 24A-1-3, to include an exemption for common carriers and contract carriers that transport solid waste for commercial or industrial customers to disposal or recycling locations. The new legal language specifies that these carriers will be exempt from certain regulations, provided that their vehicles and operators adhere to the safety and insurance rules established by the commission.
In addition to the new exemption, the bill maintains existing exemptions for various types of motor vehicles, including those used for transporting agricultural products, medical services, and household goods. The inclusion of the new exemption aims to facilitate the transportation of solid waste, thereby supporting waste management efforts while ensuring that safety and insurance standards are upheld for the vehicles and operators involved in this service.
