What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
