RULES & REGULATIONS * USA - South Dakota law imposes stricter truck rules
Pierre,SD,USA -Land Line Magazine -March 17, 2010: -- Certain truck rules in South Dakota have been toughened under legislation signed into law by Gov. Mike Rounds. Similar efforts are advancing in statehouses around the country... The changes to South Dakota law concern making sure commercial driver’s licensing rules comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations... Among the changes is beefing up out-of-service violations. Fines for first offenders will be more straightforward. Instead of violators facing a fine ranging from $1,100 to $2,750, they would be responsible for paying $2,500 fines. Anyone caught more than once would be responsible for paying at least $5,000... Motor carriers will also face greater punishment. Employers convicted of knowingly allowing, requiring, permitting or authorizing a driver in OOS status to get behind the wheel would face up to $25,000 fines. The maximum fine has been $11,000...* West Virginia bill would add state troopers

West Virginia now employs 668 State Police officers, according to a fiscal note on the bill.
