Relating to the operation of vehicles transporting steel; authorizing a fee.

SB 1572 creates a special permit for trucks transporting steel that allows higher weight limits than standard regulations. It requires trucks to have safety systems (roll stability and blind spot systems) and meet specific axle configuration rules to qualify. Steel transport companies must pay a $1,200 annual fee to obtain the permit, which applies only to steel moved from production to first marketing locations. The permit allows a maximum gross weight of 90,000 pounds while maintaining safety standards.
