HB1189

The amendment STRENGTHENS the mobile crane tire weight limit provision by adding a requirement that cranes operating at the higher 650-pound-per-inch tire weight limit must be issued a permit under § 32-22-42, bringing them under regulatory oversight rather than allowing unlimited operation at that weight. This change adds a permitting safeguard to prevent unrestricted use of the expanded weight allowance.

The amendment corrected a formatting error by changing "forty-19 five" to "forty-five" millimeters in the tire width requirement and converted the bill from engrossed to enrolled status by adding signature pages and certification language—this is a technical finalization with no substantive change to the bill's purpose of allowing mobile cranes higher tire weight limits.
