151st GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO

SENATE BILL NO. 89

AMEND Senate Bill No. 89 on line 27 by inserting " or height " after "weight" and before "of" therein.

FURTHER AMEND Senate Bill No. 89 on line 29 by deleting " or without " after " with " and before " exceptions " therein.

SYNOPSIS

Due to the nature of height and weight restrictions, exceptions for local service or residential service are not permitted. Currently, height restrictions are imposed by the Secretary of the Department of Transportation ("Secretary") under the general authority to restrict commercial vehicle traffic on certain roads. This Amendment creates special, separate authority for the Secretary to impose height restrictions. This Amendment also requires exceptions for local service or residential service on roads where commercial vehicles are otherwise prohibited.
