This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Department of Transportation to issue an annual "self-propelled crane blanket permit" for a $400 fee, allowing operators to move cranes that exceed standard size and weight limits on state highways, provided they adhere to posted bridge limits and other regulations. This permit, which is specific to each crane and valid for one year, exempts operators from needing individual single-trip permits and allows for 24-hour movement without escorts, though permit holders are responsible for knowing current travel restrictions.
