convenience and necessity prior to operating as a common carrier.
Proposed law adds motor carriers of nonhazardous oil field waste, motor carriers of nonhazardous
industrial solid waste, and motor carriers of hazardous waste to the list of motor carriers that are
exempt from the public convenience and necessity requirements.
