| | | An Act To Increase Efficiency in Truck Hauling |
|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts of the Legislature do not become | | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | | emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, to keep Maine truck drivers competitive and employed | | during the winter and spring seasons, this issue of restricting | | the use of larger trailers to haul certain products must be | | resolved before the end of the legislative session; and |
|
| | | Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create | | an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and | | require the following legislation as immediately necessary for | | the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, | | therefore, |
|
| | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | | Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §2390, sub-§1, ¶J, as amended by PL 2005, c. 170, §2, | | is further amended to read: |
|
| | | J. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, | | a single semitrailer whose total structural length exceeds | | 48 feet but does not exceed 53 feet may be operated in | combination with a truck tractor on a highway network and | access system designated by the Commissioner of | Transportation |
