This bill modifies driver age qualifications for commercial motor vehicle drivers operating solely intrastate to transport hazardous material.

This bill amends the Iowa Code to change the driver age qualifications for certain commercial motor vehicle drivers operating solely intrastate to transport hazardous material. Specifically, it removes the exception for drivers transporting hazardous materials in a quantity that requires placarding, making the Department of Public Safety rules concerning driver age qualifications inapplicable to those drivers. The minimum age for exempted intrastate operations is set at 18 years of age.
