This bill amends the registration requirements for vehicles of excessive size and weight operating under a single-trip permit in Iowa. It allows vehicles traveling under a single-trip permit to be registered with the Department of Transportation (DOT) for the combined gross weight of the vehicle and load on a single-trip basis. The fee for this single-trip registration is set at four dollars per ton for any weight exceeding forty tons.

Additionally, the bill removes the existing prohibition that prevents the use of a trip permit, as outlined in Code section 326.23, in lieu of the registration requirements for oversize or overweight vehicles. This change aims to streamline the registration process for operators of such vehicles, making it easier and more cost-effective to comply with state regulations.
