AI Summary
This bill would allow certain vehicles operated by an engine fueled primarily by compressed or liquefied natural gas to exceed the gross weight limits by up to 2,000 pounds, which is the difference in weight between a natural gas tank and fueling system and a comparable diesel tank and fueling system. The weight exception would apply to all interstate highways, as expressly permitted by federal law. The bill also brings forward existing sections of Mississippi law related to vehicle weight limits for potential amendment.
