BE
IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION
1.
Code
Section 32-6-28 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to permits
for extra weight and dimensions for loads on vehicles, is amended by revising
paragraph (4) of subsection (a), paragraph (3) of subsection (b), and adding a
new paragraph to subsection (b) as follows:
"(4)
The application for any such permit shall
specifically
describe the type of permit applied for, as said types of permits are described
in subsection (c) of this Code section. In addition, the application for a
single-trip permit shall describe the points of departure and
destination."
"(3)
Single
trip. Pursuant to this Code section, the
commissioner may issue a single-trip permit to any vehicle or load allowed by
federal law.
A single-trip
permit authorizes the permitted load to return to its original destination on
the same permit, if done so within the allowable dates, with the same vehicle
configuration, and following the same route.
(4)
Multitrip.
Pursuant to this Code section, the commissioner may issue a multitrip permit to
any vehicle or load allowed by federal
law."
SECTION
2.
Said
Code section is further amended by adding a new paragraph to subsection (c), to
read as follows:
"(5)
Multitrip.
Charges for the issuance of multitrip permits shall be $50.00 for any load not
greater than 16 feet wide, not greater than 16 feet high, and not weighing more
than 150,000 pounds or any load greater than 100 feet long which does not exceed
the maximum width, height, and weight limits specified by this paragraph. Only
company name and United States DOT number shall be used for the multitrip
permit."
SECTION
3.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
