Document

What other regulations are NOT exempted by a Declaration of Emergency?

Declarations of emergency that trigger the provisions of 49 CFR 390.23 do not exempt motor carriers or drivers from requirements relating to license plates, taxes, oversize-overweight rules, or “for hire” Federal or State registration requirements.  However, individual governors’ declarations may provide for exemptions from State laws or regulations.

Additionally, motor carriers or drivers currently subject to an out-of-service order are not eligible for the exemption until they have met the applicable conditions for its rescission and the order has been rescinded by FMCSA.
