HB 2069 -- Division of Motor Carrier Services

Sponsor:  Koller

This bill implements the Governors's Executive Order 02-03
(February 7, 2002).  That order transferred the powers and
authority of the Division of Motor Carrier and Railroad Safety
within the Department of Economic Development, the Highway
Reciprocity Commission within the Department of Revenue, the
Motor Carriers Services Unit within the Traffic Engineering
Division of the Department of Transportation, and the Department
of Natural Resources' hazardous waste transporter licensing and
waste tire hauling permit functions to a newly created Motor
Carrier Services Unit within the Department of Transportation.
Administrative law judges under the Division of Motor Carrier and
Railroad Safety were transferred to the Administrative Hearing
Commission within the Office of Administration.

The bill creates a new chapter (Chapter 308, RSMo) in which the
Division of Motor Carrier Services is established within the
Department of Transportation.  The regulatory and statutory
authority transferred from the various divisions will be
encompassed mostly in Chapter 308.

This concept is referred to as a "One-Stop Shop" where commercial
truck drivers can obtain license and other services from one
agency.

The bill has an emergency clause and will become effective upon
approval or July 1, 2002, whichever occurs later.
