SF 258 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the combined gross weight limit for vehicles operating under a fluid milk products annual permit, and including applicability provisions.

This bill increases the maximum gross weight limit for trucks transporting fluid milk under annual permits from 96,000 pounds to 130,000 pounds on primary roads and city primary road extensions. It directly affects dairy transportation companies that rely on these permits to move milk products between plants, receiving stations, or transfer stations. The key change allows heavier trucks while maintaining the existing 20,000-pound-per-axle limit and $400 permit fee. The bill applies to new permits issued after its effective date and to existing permits still active on that date.
