A bill for an act relating to the registration requirements for vehicles of excessive size and weight operating under a single-trip permit, and providing fees.

HF 696 modifies the registration requirements for vehicles that exceed established size and weight limits and operate under a single-trip permit. It allows these vehicles to be registered with the Department of Transportation (DOT) on a single-trip basis for their combined gross weight. A fee of four dollars per ton is applied for any weight exceeding 40 tons. Additionally, the bill removes the prohibition against using a general 72-hour trip permit in lieu of the specific oversize or overweight vehicle registration requirements.
