MOTOR CARRIERS: Provides relative to required insurance coverage applicable to trucks transporting waste
HB 879 is a procedural bill that modifies the text of a previous legislative proposal regarding insurance requirements for trucks transporting waste. The bill removes specific language about penalties and deletes several amendments that had been previously adopted by the Senate. By stripping out these provisions, the measure simplifies the original text before it proceeds to further legislative review.
