Allows trucks 53 ft and under to operate anywhere in the state, except where specifically restricted access by law.

Under current law, a semitrailer over 48 ft. but under 53 ft. could be operated in the state but it required a permit to be issued by the department designating what routes within the state it could travel on. This legislation would now allow trucks 53 ft and under to operate anywhere in the state, except where they are specifically restricted access by law.
