What’s in it
AI summary Vehicles that carry fluid milk products will be allowed to weigh up to 136,000 pounds instead of the current limit. Local authorities and the Department of Transportation can both issue the annual permits needed for these heavier vehicles. This change also allows these milk trucks to drive on more than just primary roads and city extensions.1

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. The bill makes fluid milk products annual permits valid for vehicles and combinations of vehicles weighing up to 136,000 pounds. The DOT is required to establish rules regarding minimum distances for axle configurations.463. The bill takes effect January 1, 2027.
