Summary
The bill lets fully autonomous vehicles operate on state highways without a human driver if they meet safety and certification requirements, but heavy vehicles over 62,000 pounds must still have a driver until mid‑2026. It also requires operators to file a law‑enforcement interaction plan and bans school districts from using driverless buses. Additionally, it creates a framework for commercial truck platoons starting August 2026.
