2022 Senate Bill 1194

Give subsidies to employers of certain truck drivers

Introduced in the Senate

Sept. 28, 2022

Introduced by Sen. Roger Victory (R-30)

Give subsidies to employers of certain truck drivers to authorize state subsidies to employers of truck drivers, so as to lower the cost to the company of paying the wage or salary required to employ and retain enough licensed drivers to deliver goods to “any sector” determined by managers of the subsidy program to have “high demand” for drivers. The bill explicitly authorizes subsidies for the employers of drivers who transport “hazmat” materials and milk.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
