AB 1159 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: weight limits for certain vehicles transporting maple sap or syrup. (FE)

This bill updates weight limit rules for vehicles transporting maple sap or syrup in Wisconsin. It allows these vehicles to carry heavier loads on certain state highways, with specific axle weight limits of 21,000 pounds per axle or 37,000 pounds for closely spaced axles, while excluding interstate highways from these relaxed limits. The changes aim to support maple producers by permitting more efficient transportation of their products from collection sites to storage or markets. The bill also includes a procedural provision exempting it from a standard transportation department review requirement.
