Agricultural Products Overweight Motor Vehicle

If certain conditions are met, current law allows vehicle owners to get permits to move overweight loads. The bill creates a type of overweight permit for divisible loads granted to agricultural producers if:

• The vehicle is registered as a farm vehicle;
• The agricultural producer designates 100 days, which need not be consecutive, for each calendar year that the permit may be used;
• The vehicle is used to transport agricultural products from the place of production to the place of storage or sale; and
• The vehicle complies with rules governing the distribution of the load upon the vehicle's axles.

The permit costs:

• $40 for general vehicles;
• $50 for quad axle groupings;
• $50 for vehicles with trailers with 2 or 3 axle groupings.
