HF 2651: Relating to fluid milk products annual permits, and including effective date provisions

Died when the session ended · The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

463 but not exceeding 20,000 pounds per axle, and not exceeding a gross weight of 96,000 pounds, on primary roads and primary road extensions in cities. The fee for a fluid milk products annual permit is $400. This bill strikes the restriction that limits such permitted vehicles to be operated only on primary roads and primary road extensions in cities. As such, the bill authorizes local authorities, in addition to the DOT, to issue fluid milk products annual permits. In accordance with current law, a permit must be issued by the authority responsible for the maintenance of the system of highways or streets on which operating a permitted vehicle is authorized.
