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 adds a permit requirement under § 32-22-42 for mobile cranes to operate under the higher 650-pound-per-inch tire weight limit, NARROWING the bill by making the exemption conditional on obtaining state authorization rather than automatic. This change adds a regulatory gate to what was originally an unconditional allowance for mobile cranes to exceed standard tire weight limits on highways.
The amendment corrects a formatting error by changing "forty-19 five" to "forty-five" millimeters in the tire width specification, and converts the bill from engrossed to enrolled status by adding standard legislative certification and enactment language. This is a technical cleanup with no substantive change to the bill's purpose of establishing higher tire weight limits for mobile cranes.
