SB 3220 Summary

• Transfers enforcement authority for the Motor Carrier Law from the Public Utilities Commission to the Department of Transportation.

• Redefines "enforcement officer" in chapters 269 and 271 to include motor vehicle safety officers employed by the Department of Transportation who enforce the entire motor carrier law, rather than limiting their authority to specific sections.

• Updates all references throughout chapter 271 from "commission" to "department" regarding motor carrier regulations, penalties, citations, and enforcement procedures.

• Appropriates funds from general revenues for fiscal year 2024-2025 to support the transfer of motor carrier enforcement functions to the Department of Transportation (specific amount left blank in bill).

• Takes effect July 1, 3000 (appears to be a drafting error, as the date is implausibly far in the future).
