AN ACT relating to the transportation of forestry products.

Summary

The bill creates a new rule that lets trucks hauling primary forest products such as lumber, logs, sawdust, and wood chips travel up to 100 miles from their origin on state‑maintained highways with higher weight limits than currently allowed. It sets a 90,000‑pound limit for two‑axle trucks and a 100,000‑pound limit for three‑axle trucks, but does not apply on interstates or bridges that have lower posted limits. The legislation also revises the penalty schedule, adding per‑pound fines for overweight loads and higher fines for crossing old bridges, while preserving existing enforcement authority.
