Summary

The measure lets the Maryland Secretary set new permit rules for trucks that carry only sealed international freight from the Seagirt Marine Terminal. Permits will limit vehicle weight, axle count, speed, travel times and require use of a specific state‑or‑county highway route designated as a heavy‑weight port corridor. The changes aim to better manage heavy freight traffic while maintaining safety standards.
