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 December 31 of each year.

This bill provides an exception similar to the agricultural crop exception.

Under this bill, certain vehicles or vehicle combinations transporting manure to or

from a farm may, without a permit, exceed weight limits by not more than 15 percent

from September 1 to November 30 of each year.

Because this bill concerns an exception to the vehicle weight limits specified in

ch. 348, stats., the Department of Transportation, as required by law, will prepare

a report to be printed as an appendix to this bill.
