A bill for an act relating to certain state highways not designated as part of the interstate road system, including the operation of implements of husbandry on such highways, making appropriations, and including applicability provisions.

SF 568 prevents the Department of Transportation (DOT) from designating a segment of State Highway 5 and US Highway 65 as an interstate road unless the federal government grants an exemption for vehicle weight and size. It allows agricultural implements of husbandry to continue using a specific portion of this highway, if it becomes an interstate, until an alternative route suitable for these vehicles is developed. The bill appropriates $250,000 to the DOT to study and develop this alternative route. This legislation directly affects the DOT, the State Transportation Commission, and agricultural operators using these specific highway segments.
