HB 28 -- Carriers of Household Goods

Sponsor:  Cunningham (86)

This bill allows a common carrier of household goods to file an
application with the State Highways and Transportation Commission
for approval of rates to reflect increases and decreases in the
carrier's cost.  The filing of the application will follow
similar rules that govern rate adjustments requested by
electrical, gas, or water companies.  The commission will
determine the form in which the application is to be made.

Beginning January 1, 2008, motor carriers that transport
household goods will be prohibited from operating wholly in
municipalities, between contiguous municipalities, or in
commercial zones without obtaining Department of Transportation
authority.  Currently, household carriers are exempt from the
rules and regulations of Chapter 390, RSMo, if their operations
are restricted to those described areas.
