AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Department of Transportation to issue a yearly "blanket permit" for operators of self-propelled cranes that exceed standard size and weight limits, allowing them to move on state highways. For a $400 annual fee per crane, operators will be exempt from paying individual permit fees for each trip. These cranes, when operating under this blanket permit, can travel 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without needing an escort, but operators are still responsible for knowing and adhering to any posted bridge weight limits and other relevant regulations. The bill also clarifies that this permit does not exempt operators from general rules regarding overweight and oversized vehicles and takes effect immediately upon passage.
