(c) Pursuant to the options provided to the States by FHWA Docket No.
MC-88-8, the driver of any motor vehicle controlled or operated by or for a
farmer is waived from the requirements of this Section, when such motor
vehicle is being used to transport: agricultural products; implements of
husbandry; or farm supplies; to and from a farm, as long as such movement is not over 150 air
miles from the originating farm. This waiver does not apply to
the driver of any motor vehicle
being used in a common or contract carrier type operation.
However, for those drivers of any truck-tractor
semitrailer combination or combinations registered under subsection (c) of
Section 3-815 of this Code, this waiver shall apply only when the
driver is a farmer or a member of the farmer's family and the driver is 21
years
of age or more and has successfully completed any
tests the Secretary of State deems necessary.
In addition, the farmer or a member of the farmer's family who operates a
truck-tractor semitrailer combination or combinations pursuant to this waiver
shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties
and restrictions with respect to Sections 6-514 and 6-515 of this Code
applicable to the driver who possesses a commercial driver's license issued
under this Code, except that the driver shall not be subject to any additional
duties or restrictions contained
in Part 382 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations that are
not otherwise imposed under Section 6-514 or 6-515 of this Code.

However, for drivers of any truck-tractor semitrailer combination or combinations operating as a covered farm vehicle, the driver must successfully complete any tests the Secretary of State deems necessary. When operating any truck-tractor semitrailer combination as a covered farm vehicle, the exemption applies only to persons age 21 or older, if operating the vehicle in interstate driving, and to persons at least 18 years of age, if operating the vehicle in intrastate driving. The Secretary may adopt rules necessary to implement this Section. (c-5) An employee of a township or road district with a population of
less
than 3,000 operating a vehicle within the boundaries of the township or road
district for the purpose of removing snow or ice from a roadway by plowing,
sanding, or salting is waived from the requirements of this Section when the
employee is needed to operate the vehicle because the employee of the township
or road district who ordinarily operates the vehicle and who has a commercial
driver's license is unable to operate the vehicle or is in need of additional
assistance due to a snow emergency.
(c-10) A driver of a commercial motor vehicle used primarily in the transportation of propane winter heating fuel or a driver of a motor vehicle used to respond to a pipeline emergency is waived from the requirements of this Section if such requirements would prevent the driver from responding to an emergency condition requiring immediate response as defined in 49 C.F.R. Part 390.5. (d) Any person convicted of violating this Section, shall be guilty of a
Class A misdemeanor.
