Kentucky HB658 extends the allowable time length of limited commercial driver's licenses to comply with federal regulations.

Kentucky HB658 creates a new section in KRS Chapter 281A to mandate the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to issue emergency and ordinary administrative regulations. These regulations will extend the allowable time length of limited commercial driver's licenses to align with federal exemptions for certain restricted CDLs, specifically under C.F.R sec. 383.3. The bill declares an emergency due to the federal amendment on September 29, 2022, which increased the allowable usage period from 180 days to 210 days, and the state's failure to update its regulations accordingly.
