What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
