Comment: The New York State Farm Bureau commented that they understand the DMV’s justification for promulgating the regulation, due to the need to comply with federal regulations. The Farm Bureau expressed appreciation for DMV’s efforts to reach out to and educate persons affected by the law and asked the DMV give special consideration to persons who must now obtain a CDL with a hazardous materials endorsement. Response: The Department will continue to work with the Farm Bureau and the farm community to assist with implementation of this new law.
