SECTION 1.  G.S. 20‑119 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:

"(b3)    For a special permit issued under this section for the transport and delivery of cargo, containers, or other equipment, the Department may allow travel after sunset if the Department determines it will be safe and expedite traffic flow. The Department shall not include a term or condition prohibiting travel after sunset for any permitted shipments going to or from international ports. Nothing in this subsection precludes the Department from restricting movements it determines to be unsafe."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
