Bill > HB258

This bill allows vehicles transporting fluid milk from a farm to the first market to have a gross weight of up to 90,000 pounds on any state highway, with a 10% weight tolerance, except on the interstate highway system where the limit remains 80,000 pounds. It also clarifies that these vehicles must still adhere to federal and posted bridge weight limits. The bill amends existing laws (KRS 189.222, KRS 189.270, and KRS 189.2717) to reflect these changes and ensures that fluid milk is considered a nondivisible load for permitting purposes, allowing for a gross weight of up to 100,000 pounds under specific permits. Additionally, it makes conforming changes to KRS 189.221, which sets general highway weight and dimension limits.
