AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Kentucky law (KRS 189.2226) concerning weight limits for vehicles transporting building materials for home construction. Previously, builders could operate under certain weight exemptions on state roads without a specific permit. However, this bill introduces a new requirement: any builder constructing ten or more homes within a one-mile radius must now apply for a permit before utilizing these exemptions. To obtain this permit, applicants must enter into a cooperative agreement with the Transportation Cabinet, which will outline how the builder will contribute to the costs of maintaining and repairing the state roads they use. The Transportation Cabinet may also require a bond as part of this agreement to guarantee the builder's financial contribution, and any funds collected through these agreements will be specifically used for the maintenance of the affected state roads.
