A bill for an act relating to fluid milk products annual permits, and including effective date provisions.
SF 2429 modifies Iowa's rules for annual permits allowing heavy vehicles to transport fluid milk products. It increases the maximum gross weight limit from 96,000 to 136,000 pounds for permitted vehicles on roads, while keeping the 20,000-pound-per-axle limit unchanged. The bill expands permit authority beyond the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to include local authorities, and requires the DOT to establish rules for axle configurations. This change affects milk transport companies and local governments, taking effect January 1, 2027.
