The bill amends Wyoming's vehicle regulations to enhance safety on highways by requiring that commercial motor vehicles cover specific loads. It introduces new provisions stating that no vehicle should be driven unless it is constructed or loaded to prevent any part of its load from escaping. Additionally, it mandates that vehicles with open beds transporting materials such as dirt, gravel, sand, or rock must be securely covered to prevent any loss of load while on the highway.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that these regulations do not apply to the necessary spreading of substances during highway maintenance or construction operations. The new regulations are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
