A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend Code Section 32-6-28 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to permits for extra weight and dimensions for loads on vehicles, so as to provide for changes to the requirements for the permits; to allow multitrip permits; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

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All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
