SPONSOR: Brown (149)
Currently, the maximum speed at which cotton trailers may travel is 40 miles per hour. This bill increases the maximum speed to 65 miles per hour and removes the requirement that the trailer is to be used exclusively for transporting cotton. The bill also specifies that cotton trailers are not in violation of the provisions relating to securing of loads if certain conditions are met and no portion of the load becomes dislodged.
This bill is the same as SS SB 1298 (2024).
