SSB 1044 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 vehicles transporting fluid milk products under annual permits from 96,000 pounds to 130,000 pounds on primary roads and city road extensions. It directly affects dairy transport companies operating under these permits, allowing larger loads while maintaining the existing 20,000-pound-per-axle limit. The change applies to all new permits issued after the bill's effective date and to existing permits still active on that date. The $400 annual permit fee remains unchanged, and the bill does not alter other weight regulations.
