Iowa HSB136 removes age exception for intrastate commercial drivers transporting hazardous materials.

Iowa HSB136 amends the state's commercial driver's license regulations to remove the age exception for drivers operating solely intrastate who transport hazardous materials. Currently, drivers aged 18 to 20 can operate commercial vehicles transporting hazardous materials within the state, but this bill eliminates that exception. The Department of Public Safety will now enforce the standard age requirement of 21 years for such drivers. This change applies to both private and for-hire motor carriers.
