What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person may operate a motor vehicle upon a highway in

this state unless the person possesses a valid operator's license. Additional

endorsements are required for the operation of certain vehicles. An “F” endorsement

authorizes a seasonal farm employee who is eligible for a restricted commercial

driver license under federal law to operate certain commercial vehicles for a seasonal

period not to exceed 180 days in any calendar year. This bill increases the seasonal

period for an “F” endorsement to 210 days.
