What’s in it
AI summary Currently, local governments can decide which of their paved roads are off-limits to vehicles with special all-systems permits. This bill stops local authorities from banning all of their paved roads and streets from these permits at once. It ensures that at least some local roads remain available for permitted vehicles to use.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is authorized to issue an all-systems permit that is valid for movement on all paved highways or streets, except the interstate road system under certain circumstances, and except any highways or streets under the jurisdiction of local authorities upon which an all-systems permit is not valid as determined by the applicable local authority, if the local authority indicates such highways and streets to the DOT in writing, including by means of electronic communication. A local authority is prohibited from determining that certain roads, streets, or highways are not valid for purposes of an all-systems permit without justification. Despite a determination by a local authority that a certain street or highway is not valid for purposes of an all-systems permit, a person who is issued an all-systems permit may operate a permitted vehicle over the most direct route between the location where the vehicle is loaded or is to be unloaded and the nearest highway or street upon which movement under an all-systems permit is valid. This bill prohibits a local authority from determining that every paved highway or street under its jurisdiction is not valid for purposes of an all-systems permit.
