A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4464 AS INTRODUCED 4-13-99


Under the current law, a person may operate or move an implement of husbandry of any width on a highway as required for normal farming operations, without obtaining a special permit for an excessively wide vehicle or load. House Bill 4464 would clarify the provision to specify that a person may operate or move farm equipment of any width on a highway as required, designed, and intended for farming operations, including the movement of implements of husbandry being driven or towed and not hauled on a trailer.
