What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may operate upon a

highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds certain statutory weight

limits unless the person obtains a permit issued by the Department of

Transportation or a local authority. Under one exception, certain vehicles or vehicle

combinations transporting agricultural crops may, without a permit, exceed weight

limits by not more than 15 percent from September 1 to November 30 of each year.

This bill extends the annual end date for this exception from November 30 to

December 31.
