AI Summary

  • Authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a restricted class A or class B driver's license for operating vehicles in the production, harvesting, or transportation of silage by farmers, farm employees, or contracted farm employees.

  • Permits operation of silage-related vehicles only between different parts of the same farm or between separate farms on highways for distances not exceeding 20 miles from the point of origin.

  • Requires the department to comply with federal regulations in Part 383 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations when issuing these restricted licenses.

  • Requires licensed California drivers applying for the restricted license to submit approved medical information upon application and every two years thereafter, instead of undergoing a full medical examination.
