Gives trucking companies an incentive to incorporate LPG systems in their vehicles without sacrificing cargo space by treating LPG vehicles in the same way as natural-gas fueled vehicles with respect to weight limitations.

Amends the Transportation Code to authorize a vehicle or combination of vehicles that is powered by an engine fueled primarily or secondarily by liquefied petroleum gas or secondarily by natural gas to exceed statutory vehicle weight limitations by an amount that is equal to the difference between the weight of the vehicle attributable to the natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas tank and fueling system carried by that vehicle and the weight of a comparable diesel tank and fueling system. However, the maximum gross weight of such a
vehicle or combination of vehicles may not exceed a certain weight. Changes from 82,000 pounds to 81,000 pounds the maximum gross weight of the vehicle or combinations of
vehicles authorized to exceed statutory weight limitations.
