Bill > SB00297

This bill proposes to modify the existing state statute regarding gross vehicle weight limits specifically for vehicles or combination vehicles that are transporting recyclable materials. The purpose of the bill is to align the state's weight limits for recycling transportation vehicles with those of neighboring states, which will help create more consistent and uniform regulations across the region. By amending subsection (b) of section 14-267a of the general statutes, the legislation aims to increase the maximum allowable weight for vehicles carrying recyclable materials. While the specific numerical weight increase is not detailed in the provided text, the bill suggests this change will facilitate more efficient recycling transportation by potentially allowing slightly heavier loads that are consistent with weight limits in adjacent states. The bill demonstrates an effort to streamline interstate commercial transportation of recyclable materials by standardizing vehicle weight regulations.
