The Honorable Richard Proehl, Chairperson
House Committee on Transportation
Statehouse, Room 581-W
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Proehl:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2351 by House Committee on Transportation
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2351 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
Under current law, vehicles that have been authorized special permits for exceeding certain
size limitations cannot be operated between 30 minutes after sunset and 30 minutes before sunrise,
when visibility is less than half a mile, or when highway surfaces have ice or snow. Current law
also prohibits vehicles that exceed certain weight limitations from operating when highway
surfaces have ice or snow. HB 2351 would exempt vehicles that are responding to a utility outage
or other utility issue from the provisions above.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) indicates the bill would require
changes to the Kansas Truck Routing and Intelligent Permitting System (K-TRIPS). However,
KDOT estimates the costs associated with the changes would be negligible and absorbed within
existing agency resources. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2351 is not reflected in The FY
2020 Governor’s Budget Report.

Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
