Four States Adopt Federal Commercial Driving Regulations

JUNE 25, 2018

Multiple states are adopting federal commercial driving regulations set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Others are deleting provisions that were more stringent or different from federal commercial driving regulations.

While we’ll continue to monitor the progress as legislation moves forward, here are the current states that have approved federal commercial driving regulations:

• Arizona: Effective May 1, 2018.
• Louisiana: Effective May 20, 2018.
• Montana: Accepting public comments until June 22, 2018. If no comment, effective May 28, 2018.
