Commercial driver license-hazardous materials endorsement.

Wyoming's HB 8 changes the age requirement for obtaining a hazardous materials endorsement on a commercial driver's license, allowing drivers who are 18 years or older to qualify instead of the previous minimum of 21. The bill directly affects commercial drivers seeking to transport hazardous materials by lowering the eligibility age. It amends existing law to specify that the "H" endorsement (for hazardous materials) requires the driver to be at least 18, and directs the Department of Transportation to create necessary rules for implementation. The law takes effect on July 1, 2024, with rulemaking provisions effective immediately upon final passage.
