What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may operate upon a highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds certain statutory limits on size, weight, or load unless that person possesses a permit issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT). DOT may issue an annual or consecutive month permit (Michigan border permit) for an oversize or overweight vehicle or combination of vehicles to: 1) transport loads within 11 miles of the Wisconsin-Michigan state line; or 2) transport certain forest products on USH 2 in Iron County or Ashland County or in Bayfield County from the Ashland County line through Hart Lake Road, if the vehicle or vehicle combination is traveling between this state and Michigan and does not violate Michigan law.
This bill allows a vehicle or vehicle combination operating under a Michigan border permit under the circumstances described in item 2), above, to operate solely within Wisconsin, eliminating the requirement that the vehicle or vehicle combination be traveling between Wisconsin and Michigan. However, if the vehicle or vehicle combination is traveling between Wisconsin and Michigan, it is still subject to the requirement that it not be in violation of Michigan law.
