What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits any person from operating a motor truck, truck tractor,

motor bus, trailer, or semitrailer unless the vehicle's empty weight is displayed on

the side of the vehicle. This bill eliminates the requirement that a vehicle's empty

weight be displayed.
