The purpose of this change is to incorporate by reference and adopt changes in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations as of 10/01/2011, and the Federal Register as of 01/12/2012, and to add enforcement provisions authorized by statute.
Rule R909-1 is amended to include an exemption for licensed child care providers and the minimum coverage required by Section 72-9-103, which became effective after the passage of H.B. 314 in the 2011 General Session. This rule amendment also incorporates the current Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR). Changes to the FMCSR's since the last incorporated version include corrections to the knowledge and skills testing standards for the commercial driver's license (CDL). The adoption of the Federal Register includes information to develop the process required to transmit, receive, record, and update information on a Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) driver record. The register also restricts the use of hand-held mobile telephones by drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), and revises the hours of service (HOS) regulations. The new HOS regulations limit the use of the 34-hour restart provision and allow truckers to drive if they have had a break of at least 30 minutes within the previous 8 hours. A specific HOS oilfield exemption in 395.1(d)(2), and the definition of on-duty time become effective on 02/27/2012, and all other HOS changes take effect on 07/01/2013.

There are no anticipated costs or savings to the state budget because the changes to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations will already be in effect and this rule amendment incorporates these regulations to enable the department to enforce them.
There are no anticipated costs or savings to local government because the changes to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations will already be in effect and this rule amendment incorporates these regulations to enable the department to enforce them.
There are no anticipated costs or savings to small business because the changes to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations will already be in effect and this rule amendment incorporates these regulations to enable the department to enforce them.
There are no anticipated costs or savings to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities because the changes to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations will already be in effect and this rule amendment incorporates these regulations to enable the department to enforce them.
Anticipated costs related to the restriction of hand-held mobile phones to intrastate carriers and small businesses could include a possible upgrade from a non-compliant mobile telephone to a compliant one. This cost has been estimated to be as low as $29.99 for motor carrier drivers. The FMCSA has estimated that the total costs of complying with the changes to the HOS rule would equate to roughly one-third of one percent of industry revenue.
