AB 642

Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may operate on a

highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds certain statutory limits

on size, weight, or load unless that person possesses a permit issued by the

Department of Transportation. Currently, DOT may issue an annual or consecutive

month permit for an oversize or overweight vehicle to transport loads within 11 miles

of the Wisconsin-Michigan state line and on specifically designated highways, if the

vehicle does not violate length or weight limitations under Michigan law (commonly

known as the Michigan border permit).

This bill adds the following highway segments to the Michigan border permit:

1. STH 64, from USH 45 in the city of Antigo to USH 141 in Marinette County.

2. STH 64, from USH 141 in Marinette County to USH 41 in the city of

Marinette.

3. USH 141, from the village of Crivitz to CTH S in Oconto County.

4. USH 41, from the town of Abrams to the city of Marinette.

5. USH 8, from USH 45 in Oneida County to a point four-tenths of a mile west.

The bill also excludes a specific vehicle configuration from eligibility for the

Michigan border permit as it pertains to operation on certain designated highways.
