BC-M217: Bill M 217: Dashboard Cameras in Commercial Vehicles Act

This bill directly affects trucking and heavy freight companies operating in British Columbia — think long-haul truckers, logging truck operators, heavy equipment haulers, and large commercial transport fleets. If you own or lease a semi-truck or other heavy commercial vehicle and drive it for a living or run a fleet, you'll need to purchase and install a compliant dashcam in every qualifying vehicle. Day-to-day, drivers must keep the camera running whenever the truck is moving and can't block or disable it. The cost and administrative burden will hit smaller owner-operators and mid-sized fleets alike, since the requirement applies based on vehicle weight rather than business size.
