Read the full explanation

This bill eliminates the annual permit allowing a vehicle or combination of vehicles transporting a divisible load of hay, straw, stover, or bagged livestock bedding in excess of the width, length, or height restrictions of Code chapter 321 to be moved on highways without a finding of a special or emergency situation. Instead, the bill increases the width, length, and height restrictions of Code chapter 321 for vehicles or combinations of vehicles transporting divisible loads of hay, straw, stover, or bagged livestock bedding. Under the bill, vehicles and combinations of vehicles transporting divisible loads of hay, straw, stover, or bagged livestock bedding are allowed to be moved on highways so long as such vehicles do not have an overall width exceeding feet inches, an overall length not exceeding feet, and an overall height not exceeding feet inches. A violation of the width, length, and height restrictions of Code chapter 321 is a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $200.
