Allows natural gas and electric battery-powered vehicles to exceed weight limits up to 82,000 pounds.
This bill modifies the maximum weight limit for vehicles powered primarily by natural gas or electric battery, allowing them to exceed the standard 80,000-pound limit up to 82,000 pounds. The bill removes the requirement that the excess weight must be due to the natural gas tank and fueling system, instead allowing all such vehicles to weigh up to 82,000 pounds. The bill also authorizes electric battery-powered vehicles to exceed the weight limit up to 82,000 pounds. The scheduled fine for exceeding the weight limit ranges from $12 to $2,200 plus 10 cents per pound over 20,000 pounds.
