	23	+	Transportation Legislation Review Committee. Current law has
	24	+	weight limits for vehicles. One of the factors that determines a vehicle's
	25	+	weight limit is whether a load is divisible, which means that the load can
	26	+	be divided up to lower its weight. The bill deems that a load of fluid milk
	27	+	products carried by a vehicle is not a divisible load.
