Senator Deb Fischer has reintroduced the HAULS Act, a bill aimed at easing regulations for agricultural and livestock haulers.
The legislation would remove seasonal restrictions on hours-of-service exemptions, clarify what counts as an agricultural commodity, and expand a 150-mile exemption for haulers delivering products.
Fischer says the bill will help farmers and ranchers move their goods safely and on time, strengthening the supply chain for food, feed, and fiber across the country.
