SS/SB 28 - This act increases, from 40mph to 65mph, the maximum speed at which cotton trailers may travel, and repeals a requirement that cotton trailers be used exclusively for transporting cotton. The act also provides that cotton trailers shall not be in violation of the law regulating the securing of loads provided that certain conditions are met, no portion of the load becomes dislodged and falls from the cotton trailer, and the goods or material is secured in a manner specified in the act.
This act is similar to SS/SB 1298 (2024), and provisions in SCS/SB 1300 (2024).
