Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
183 added · 89 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to the bill SB 481 clarifies that local authorities and law enforcement can move combination or farm vehicles on highways at all times during inclement weather and emergencies as defined by the department. Additionally, it specifies that a one-time decal identifying licensed milk haulers will be placed on the driver’s side of the vehicle, with fees limited to administrative costs for issuance and replacement. The prior version included a prohibition on penalties for drivers under certain conditions, which has been removed in the latest version. This change may affect how compliance and enforcement are handled for vehicle operators in these scenarios.
