Summary
[wpcode id=”3772″]
Replaces the fine schedule and increases the potential fines based on multitude and magnitude of vehicle weight violations.
Issue
Revises the fines to a scaler fine that charges for each pound over 100 pounds in excess of the limit while also removing the arbitrary fine limit of $1,160. The proposed fines are intended to serve as a deterrent against vehicle weight violations and help to ensure the safety and longevity of the State's
infrastructure.

Dead. Companion bill, HB 1108, remains active.
