House Bill 545, which proposes to adopt the federal electronic logging device mandate for intrastate motor carriers, is currently making its way through the Florida Senate House and Senate chambers. Should the bill become law, intrastate motor carriers will be required to use ELDs by December 31, 2018. Intrastate hazardous materials motor carriers are specifically excluded and will still be required to comply with the Federal ELD compliance date of December 18, 2017.
