HCS HB 371 -- HAZARDOUS WASTE CARRIERS

SPONSOR:  Crawford (Dusenberg)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Transportation and Motor Vehicles by a vote of 18 to 0.

This substitute makes Missouri law consistent with federal
requirements for hazardous waste haulers and extends state safety
regulation to include all commercial carriers, not just those
licensed by weight.

FISCAL NOTE:  Not available at time of printing.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the definition of "motor
vehicle" puts Missouri in compliance with federal law.  Missouri
could lose federal highway funds if this is not corrected.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Dusenberg; and State
Highway Patrol.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
