The bill amends R.S. 32:387.14 to introduce a multi-use permit for the transportation of heavy equipment. It allows the secretary to issue annual special permits that can be amended or transferred between vehicles up to four times per calendar year. Any additional transfers beyond this limit will be at the discretion of the Department of Transportation and Development.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the secretary must establish rules and regulations to implement these provisions, including setting a maximum fee of $2,500 for the annual permit and ensuring that the size and weight of the transported equipment do not exceed existing restrictions for heavy equipment transporters. This change aims to provide more flexibility for transporters while maintaining regulatory oversight.
