Summary

The bill removes penalties for open‑top farm trucks, trailers and similar vehicles that lose small amounts of hay, straw, silage or other biodegradable farm products while transporting them to other farms. It still requires a maximum speed of 45 mph and a special permit, and the exemption does not apply to full bales that could cause injury.
