Bill > HB2467

This bill amends existing state law regarding vehicle length restrictions on public highways, specifically by adding a definition and measurement method for "fifth-wheel travel trailers." A fifth-wheel travel trailer is defined as a recreational vehicle that is towed and hitched within the bed of a pickup truck. The bill clarifies that for the purpose of calculating the overall length of these trailers, the measurement is taken from the center of the kingpin, which is a metal pin that acts as a pivot point for steering and connection, to the rearmost point of the trailer. This amendment provides a clear standard for measuring the length of fifth-wheel travel trailers, which are now explicitly included in a category of vehicles that have a maximum allowable length of 46 feet, distinct from other vehicle types.
