What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law imposes size, weight, and load limits on vehicles that travel on the

highways. The Department of Transportation (DOT) and local highway officials may

issue certain permits authorizing the permittee to operate a vehicle that exceeds

these limits on vehicle size, weight, or load. DOT issues single trip permits for the

movement of oversize mobile homes, manufactured homes, and modular homes

(modular home permits).

Current law also provides, with numerous exceptions, an indivisible load

requirement under which an oversize or overweight permit may be issued only for

a single article or vehicle that cannot reasonably be divided or reduced to comply with

statutory size and weight limitations.

This bill specifies that DOT may issue a modular home permit for the

movement of more than one modular home section on a carrier if each home section

is a component of the same home as evidenced by serial numbers or other

distinguishing marks and the overall dimensions of the load will not exceed the size

limits specified in the permit. The bill also creates an exception to the indivisible load

requirement for modular home permits.
