We have received text from H.R. 4601: Seasonal Agriculture CDL Modernization Act. This bill was received on 2025-07-22, and currently has 20 cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill, known as the Seasonal Agriculture CDL Modernization Act, aims to update and simplify the process for obtaining and renewing restricted commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) for employees in farm-related service industries. Here’s a breakdown of what the bill intends to do:
1. Online Registration and Renewal System
The bill mandates that within one year of its enactment, the Secretary of Transportation must create regulations that allow each state to establish an online system for the registration and renewal of seasonal restricted commercial driver’s licenses. This update is designed to make it easier for workers in the agricultural service sector to maintain their licenses as long as they meet the existing program requirements.
2. Clarification on Implements of Husbandry
Additionally, the Secretary of Transportation is instructed to issue regulations that clarify that 'implements of husbandry'—which refer to vehicles or equipment specifically designed for agricultural use—are not to be classified as commercial motor vehicles. This means that these implements will not be included in the calculations of Gross Combination Weight Rating or Gross Combination Weight, which could reduce regulatory burdens on farmers and agricultural workers.
3. Definitions
The bill includes specific definitions for crucial terms:
- Eligible Employee: An employee who qualifies for and seeks to acquire a restricted commercial driver’s license.
- Farm-Related Service Industries: Defined as per the existing regulations, these are industries that support farming operations.
- Implements of Husbandry: Vehicles or equipment specifically designed for agricultural tasks.
- Restricted Commercial Driver’s License: A special type of CDL as defined in existing regulations.
4. Purpose and Impact
The overall goal of the Seasonal Agriculture CDL Modernization Act is to streamline the licensing process for agricultural workers, making it more efficient in light of the seasonal demands of the farming industry. This modernization is intended to facilitate better management of farm operations by ensuring that workers can obtain the necessary licenses without unnecessary complications.
