This law requires that the commissioner set up and manage random inspections of cargo tanks and vehicles that transport hazardous waste, both on highways and off-road. Additionally, the commissioner must provide training to department employees responsible for checking if these tanks and vehicles meet specific safety and construction standards based on existing regulations. This ensures that they are checked properly and maintained safely, as per the guidelines and laws related to commercial vehicle safety and hazardous materials.

This law states that any testing related to pressure, vacuum, or hydrostatic measures of a cargo tank must be conducted by the carrier, operator, or a consultant, and they must confirm in writing that the tank meets the necessary standards set by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the State Air Resources Board, and the commissioner. A department representative can watch or mandate these tests. The carrier has to keep records of the certifications at their business location.

This law requires the department to compile and publish an annual report that covers inspections of cargo tanks and hazardous waste transport vehicles and containers. The report should include the number of inspections, the number of violations found, and incidents reported to the Office of Emergency Services.

This law allows authorized state employees to inspect cargo tanks and vehicles used to transport hazardous waste. These inspections can take place in places like terminals or yards to find and fix any dangerous conditions that could harm people, animals, or property. Inspectors can enter private property for these checks, and the property owners or managers must allow them to do so.
