Longer restricted driving licenses for agricultural workers

North Dakota’s transportation department may waive knowledge and skills tests and issue restricted commercial driver’s licenses to eligible agricultural workers. Covered employers include agrichemical businesses, custom harvesters, farm retailers and suppliers—including tree retailers and suppliers—and livestock feeders. Licenses can cover one 210-day period or two 105-day periods within a calendar year. Federal limits still apply, and the department decides whether to grant the waiver. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
