Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Assembly Bill 511 expands the routes available for oversize or overweight vehicles transporting forest products by adding specific highway segments to the Michigan border permit. This means that vehicles can now legally travel on more roads to transport forest products, which could improve access and efficiency for businesses in that sector. Overall, these changes aim to support the forest products industry while ensuring that transportation routes are clearly defined and regulated.

of the statutes;
relating to:
permits for certain oversize or overweight vehicles transporting forest products.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may operate on a highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds certain statutory limits on size, weight, or load unless that person possesses a permit issued by the Department of Transportation.
Currently, DOT may issue an annual or consecutive month permit for an oversize or overweight vehicle to transport loads within 11 miles of the Wisconsin-Michigan state line and on specifically designated highways, if the vehicle does not violate length or weight limitations under Michigan law (commonly known as the Michigan border permit).
This bill adds the following highway segments to the Michigan border permit:
