|---|
| 11 | + | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 12 | + | Under current law, no person may operate on a highway any vehicle that |
|---|
| 13 | + | exceeds statutory limits on size or weight. However, the Department of |
|---|
| 14 | + | Transportation may issue permits authorizing the transportation of metallic or |
|---|
| 15 | + | nonmetallic scrap for the purpose of recycling or processing on a vehicle or |
|---|
| 16 | + | combination of vehicles that exceeds statutory weight or length limitations and for |
|---|
| 17 | + | the return of the vehicle or combination of vehicles when empty. |
|---|
| 18 | + | Under administrative rules promulgated by DOT, “recyclable scrap” is defined |
|---|
| 19 | + | as “metallic or non-metallic material in waste for which there exists a commercially |
|---|
| 20 | + | demonstrated processing or manufacturing technology which uses the material as |
|---|
| 21 | + | a raw material, and which is transported for use as such a raw material.” |
|---|
| 22 | + | This bill, for purposes of the overweight or oversize scrap permit, creates a |
|---|
| 23 | + | definition for “metallic or nonmetallic scrap” that is functionally identical to DOT's |
|---|
| 24 | + | definition for “recyclable scrap,” except that the new definition explicitly includes pig |
|---|
| 25 | + | iron. |
|---|
| 26 | + | For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as |
|---|
| 27 | + | an appendix to this bill. |
