HB 5732 Summary

• Amends the Motor Carrier Fuel Tax Act to replace "upon" with "on" and "shall" with "must" throughout sections 5 and 7 for grammatical consistency.

• Adds section 7a to suspend decal requirements, trip permit requirements, and international fuel tax agreement credentialing for motor carriers providing critical COVID-19 pandemic assistance during the declared state of emergency under Executive Order 2020-33.

• Defines "critical assistance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic" to include transportation of medical supplies, protective equipment, food for emergency restocking, quarantine facilities, and individuals designated for isolation or medical services.

• Excludes routine commercial deliveries and mixed loads containing non-emergency items from the suspension, ensuring the exemption applies only to emergency relief efforts.
