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 on a highway any vehicle or vehicle combination (vehicle) that exceeds certain statutory weight limits unless the person obtains a permit issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT) or a local authority, as applicable. Subject to certain restrictions, DOT issues to qualifying applicants multiple trip permits for the transportation of granular roofing material in vehicles that exceed, by not more than 10,000 pounds, the generally applicable statutory gross weight limitation of 80,000 pounds. However, DOT may not issue these permits after August 1, 2011.

This bill eliminates the August 1, 2011, expiration of these permits, allowing DOT to continue issuing the permits after this date.
