It specifies that such deviations may include collecting and discharging passengers, purchasing fuel, food, beverages, medicine, or other supplies, using a restroom, or contending with an emergency situation. The bill provides exemptions for certain individuals, such as law enforcement officers, firefighters, and others, from certain restrictions on transporting firearms or weapons.
