This bill amends existing laws regarding permits for hauling oversized and overweight vehicles in Wyoming. It introduces annual permits for the transportation of prefabricated buildings, panels, and trusses, alongside existing provisions for hauling forest products, baled hay, and combine headers. The new legal language specifies that permits can be issued for one year or for periods not exceeding ninety days, with associated fees set at $200 for a one-year permit for forest products and $400 for prefabricated structures. Additionally, the bill outlines size restrictions for the loads, including maximum widths and heights.
The bill also mandates the Wyoming Department of Transportation to create necessary rules for its implementation and establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for most provisions, while allowing immediate effectiveness for certain sections upon the bill's passage. The changes aim to streamline the permitting process for specific types of hauling, ensuring compliance with size regulations while providing clear fee structures for different permit durations.
