There are a couple of pics out there of lariats with them painted, but they could have just put them on the test trucks to show.

Is there an active bill for this session? I would at least like to call my Rep and Senator to tell them I support it.

There are two and I believe they are being run together now.
Senate bill S.1825 https://malegislature.gov/Bills/189/Senate/S1825
House bill H.3010: https://malegislature.gov/Bills/189/House/H3010
Nothing has happened in a long time on them and they expire at the end of the current session.

Pick-up Trucks (Part 106.6 (b) and (c)) - you can register it in the passenger class if it meets certain conditions, depending on its unladen weight.
If your modified or unmodified pick-up truck has an unladen weight less than 6,001 lbs., you can register it in the passenger class if it meets the following conditions:

Well I like the House version better, do not like how the Senate version only identifies "pick up trucks", should include all dually's.
Zero co-sponsors is one reason it will never leave committee.
Who is fighting this on the other side? The Registrar?

Not sure. I'm sure it would be a revenue loss for them to do the right thing...

That will be the true revenue loss.
I think RV operators above a certain size / weight should be required to obtain something like a CDL, because they are responsible for moving a very large / very heavy combination on public roads. That seems very reasonable. However, they should not be registering commercial.

That won't happen. To many seasoned citizens with pull driving 60k+ GVWR DP's along with the RV industries lobbyists going batchit about their revenue losses. Personally, I'm fine without an RV based license. There is no rash of inexperienced RV related accidents.

I see more issues with people pulling out in front of, or cutting off, those of us towing fifth wheels and big RVs. They don't realize we aren't as maneuverable and can't stop as fast as their little car. Heaven forbid we get stuck for 5 minutes behind some RV driving the speed limit!

I get nervous seeing elderly drivers operating a 40k bus. I'm certain some of these people are perfectly competent drivers, but still. Chances are we could do away with a hazmat requirement for tanker drivers and there wouldn't be a rash of accidents or explosions there either.

I am a seasoned citizen with license and ability to drive any commercial vehicle including doubles and triples. And it angers me to watch people jump from a Fiesta or Chevy II into a class A motorhome or 38' fifth wheel camper and head on down the road without any regard for ability to handle, back up, highway safety and laws or mostly, common sense. Witness one of these inexperienced drivers at a fuel stop, campground or anywhere if reverse is required. There may not be a rash of accidents directly involving the RV but look at the defenses required of other drivers due to an inability to operate a vehicle of this size, or in many cases any vehicle at all. I stopped driving commercially several years ago and among the reasons is the danger the average highway driver imparts on not only themselves but others on the highway, especially those in large commercial vehicles who do not have the ability to swerve, brake and avoid those who don't give a damn about the others on the road whether through lack of training and experience or mostly just plain stupidity and greed for their own inability to understand the relationship each vehicle has to the others on the highway.

There are a lot bigger concerns related to driving that should be addressed WAY ahead of proposing an RV license...LOL. Cure all those first then you can require me to get a license to do something I already know how to do.
