Bill > HB317

This bill establishes a "special permit review board" within the department of transportation, comprised of representatives from public safety, transportation, and the New Mexico trucking association, to review applications for continued eligibility to receive special permits for oversized or overweight vehicles. It also creates a misdemeanor offense for operating an overweight vehicle in violation of the specific times allowed by a special permit issued by the department of transportation or local highway authorities, with penalties ranging from $1,000 for a first offense to $2,000 for a second offense, and introduces a provision that a third violation of a special permit's terms will make an operator ineligible for future permits unless they are approved by the newly established special permit review board.
