Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Driver age limits and medical exemptions

Covered drivers must be at least 21 for interstate commerce, placard-required hazardous loads, or vehicles designed for over 15 people, including the driver. Other covered drivers must be at least 18. Drivers operating only within South Dakota are exempt from federal physical requirements in 49 C.F.R. § 391.41. That exemption does not apply when an employer requires medical certification under federal rules.

Trucking violations carry criminal penalties

Violations of federal trucking rules in part 387 and parts 390–396 are Class 2 misdemeanors. Class 2 penalties also cover specified hazardous-materials rules on registration, general information, definitions, hazard tables, communications, and testing or inspection markings. Specified packaging, prohibited-shipment, loading, unloading, separation, cargo-tank retesting and inspection, and other transport violations are Class 1 misdemeanors. Part 397 driving and parking violations are also Class 1 misdemeanors. These penalties apply to covered drivers, carriers, and people who offer or transport hazardous materials in South Dakota.

Updated trucking rules with smaller-vehicle exemptions

South Dakota adopts federal trucking and hazardous-materials rules updated through January 1, 2025—not an effective date. The adopted Title 49 rules cover part 107, subparts F and G; parts 171–180; part 387; and parts 390–397. References to interstate operations also cover operations within South Dakota. Parts 390–397 exempt intrastate drivers and carriers using vehicles or combinations with two axles or fewer or a weight rating of 26,000 pounds or less. This exemption excludes vehicles carrying placard-required hazardous materials or designed for more than 15 people, including the driver.
