Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to securing vehicle loads on public highways; and 2 amending RCW 46.61.655. 3
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to clarify and expand regulations regarding vehicle loads on public highways, specifically addressing situations where vehicles are being towed. The key provision being added requires that any vehicle being towed on a paved public highway must have any mud, rocks, or other debris cleaned off its body, fenders, frame, undercarriage, wheels, or tires before being towed, or it must be covered while being towed. This addition aims to prevent such debris from falling onto the highway and creating hazards for other users, building upon existing rules that already prohibit loads from dropping or escaping and require covering for certain loose materials like dirt and gravel, and mandate cleaning of debris from vehicles operating on paved roads.
