Relating to the issuance of oversize or overweight permits for vehicles transporting agricultural commodities during or preceding a disaster.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 4548 would allow the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to issue special permits to waive weight requirements for oversize or overweight vehicles for the purpose of delivering agricultural commodities during a declared disaster.
Texas Action supports HB 4548 as this bill limits a government impediment and increases individual liberty to transport relevant goods during a time of disaster.
