What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill removes a reference to “registered weight" in the statutory definition

of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and several other references to the “registered

weight" of CMVs and other motor vehicles. The bill also removes a reference to

“registered weight” from a section of Department of Transportation administrative

rules pertaining to exemptions from motor carrier safety rules.

Under current law, CMVs are, in part, defined as motor vehicles that have a

weight rating, a registered weight, or an actual gross weight of over 26,000 pounds.
