What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the enforcement of vehicle weight limitations requires

weighing of the vehicles and loads on either a portable scale or a certified stationary

scale. If a portable scale is used in any weighing operation, the portable scale must

be in good working order and tested in comparison to a certified stationary scale

within the previous 90 days by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection.

This bill requires that the portable scale be tested within 180 days, instead of

90 days, immediately prior to its use in any weighing operation.
