The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) has endorsed the Hauling Exemptions for Livestock Protection (HELP) Act introduced by Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-CO-03).
The legislation codifies hours of service (HOS) and electronic logging device mandates issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Since then, America’s livestock haulers have been burdened by HOS rules again, but this legislation would reinstate permanent exemptions, providing the flexibility necessary to safely transport livestock,” NCBA said.
