enacting clause and before the summary and inserting in its place
the following:

 
'Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §2357, sub-§7, as amended by PL 2001, c. 513, §1,
is further amended to read:

 
7. Penalty calculation; fine base and fine schedule. When a
weight tolerance established in this section is exceeded, the
difference between the actual weight and the fine base for the
tolerance must be used as the basis for determining the
percentage of overload in the appropriate fine schedule and the
tolerance must be disregarded. For a 6-axle combination vehicle
described in subsection 4 that is registered for 100,000 pounds,
the fine base for the gross vehicle weight is 100,000 pounds and
the fine schedule in section 2354 applies. For a 6-axle
combination vehicle described in subsection 4 that is registered
for less than 100,000 pounds, the fine base for gross vehicle
weight is 90,000 pounds and the fine schedule in section 2360
applies. For all other vehicles operating under the gross
vehicle weight tolerances in subsection 2, except as provided in
subsection 9, and for all vehicles operating under the axle unit
