To amend the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 relating to the maximum hours of service for operators of ground water well drilling rigs.

H.R. 1008 would change federal labor regulations regarding how much mandatory rest time is required for operators of water well drilling rigs. Under this bill, these drivers would be exempt from certain additional off-duty requirements beyond standard federal safety regulations when moving their equipment between job sites. The goal of the legislation is to allow well-drilling businesses to operate more efficiently by reducing the specific downtime mandated for their specialized vehicle operators.
