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 extends the annual beginning date for this exception from September
1 to August 1.
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.
