That’s why I’ve introduced the HAULS Act to ensure that Nebraska’s ag products reach consumers in a safe and timely manner,” Fischer said. The HAULS Act would: Eliminate the requirement that ag and livestock hours-of-service (HOS) exemptions only apply during state designated planting and harvesting seasons. Amend and clarify the definition of “agricultural commodities” based on feedback provided by agriculture and livestock organizations. Expands on Fischer provision signed into law by authorizing a 150 air-mile exemption from HOS requirements on the destination side of a haul for ag commodity haulers. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
