What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
