|---|
| 9 | 9 | | AN ACT to renumber 348.27 (9r) (a); and to create 348.27 (9r) (ag) of the |

| 11 | 11 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | Under current law, no person may operate on a highway any vehicle that |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | exceeds statutory limits on size or weight. However, the Department of |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | Transportation may issue permits authorizing the transportation of metallic or |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | nonmetallic scrap for the purpose of recycling or processing on a vehicle or |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | combination of vehicles that exceeds statutory weight or length limitations and for |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | the return of the vehicle or combination of vehicles when empty. |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | Under administrative rules promulgated by DOT, “recyclable scrap” is defined |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | as “metallic or non-metallic material in waste for which there exists a commercially |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | demonstrated processing or manufacturing technology which uses the material as |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | a raw material, and which is transported for use as such a raw material.” |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | This bill, for purposes of the overweight or oversize scrap permit, creates a |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | definition for “metallic or nonmetallic scrap” that is functionally identical to DOT's |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | definition for “recyclable scrap,” except that the new definition explicitly includes pig |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | iron. |
|---|

|---|
| 27 | 27 | | an appendix to this bill. |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | enact as follows: |

|---|
