What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person may operate on a highway any vehicle that

exceeds statutory limits on size or weight. However, the Department of

Transportation may issue permits authorizing the transportation of metallic or

nonmetallic scrap for the purpose of recycling or processing on a vehicle or

combination of vehicles that exceeds statutory weight or length limitations and for

the return of the vehicle or combination of vehicles when empty. Under this permit

currently, DOT authorizes the transportation for processing of the residue material

resulting from treatment of municipal sewage.

This bill explicitly provides that these permits may include the transportation

for processing of the residue material resulting from treatment of municipal sewage

on a vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds maximum gross weight

limitations by not more than 20,000 pounds and expands the permit to also allow the

return of the vehicle or combination of vehicles to the municipal sewage treatment

facility while transporting the liquid removed from the residue material during

dewatering, including any chemical treatment added to the liquid.
