HB1189 — establish a greater tire weight limit for a mobile crane moving on any highway in this state.
What changed between bill versions as it moved through the Legislature.
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.
