Trans 102.23 NoteNote: The original federal waiver permitted operation of vehicles only in response to emergencies or in the routine performance of other duties. The federal government removed that restriction in promulgating 49 CFR 383.3(d)(2), thereby extending the waiver for other non-routine functions such as parades and vehicle repair. This rule making adopts this extended waiver pursuant to the authority provided in s. 343.055 (5), Stats. Trans 102.23(7)(7) Snowplow operators. No CDL class, endorsement or restriction shall apply to a person operating a commercial motor vehicle for the purpose of removing snow or ice from a roadway by plowing, salting, sanding, or applying other snow and ice treatment chemicals if all of the following apply: Trans 102.23(7)(a)(a) The person is an employee of a local unit of government with a population of 3000 or less. Trans 102.23(7)(b)(b) The person holds a valid license authorizing the operation of class “D” vehicles. Trans 102.23(7)(c)(c) The person is operating within the boundaries of the local unit of government. Trans 102.23(7)(d)1.1. The properly licensed employee who ordinarily operates a commercial motor vehicle for these purposes is unable to operate the vehicle. Trans 102.23(7)(d)2.2. Additional assistance is required in plowing snow because the local unit of government has determined that a snow emergency exists. Trans 102.23 NoteNote: Wisconsin has not adopted restricted CDL license waivers for the pyrotechnic industry permitted at 49 CFR 383.3(g). Trans 102.23 HistoryHistory: CR 04-141: cr.
