AI Summary

This bill amends Section 56-5-4140 of the South Carolina Code of Laws to establish a specific weight limit for farm trucks. Currently, various types of vehicles have different weight restrictions based on the number of axles and whether they are on the interstate highway system. This bill introduces a new provision, subsection (D), which states that on non-interstate highways, a farm truck will be limited to a maximum weight of ninety thousand pounds, including any enforcement tolerances. Enforcement tolerances are essentially allowances for slight variations in weight measurement. This change aims to provide a clear and specific weight limit for farm trucks operating on state roads outside of the interstate system.
