EXPLANATION
7
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
8
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
9
Under
current
law,
any
kind
of
vehicle,
implement,
or
10
conveyance
incapable
of
attaining
and
maintaining
a
speed
of
40
11
miles
per
hour
(MPH)
is
prohibited
from
using
the
interstate
12
road
system.
13
This
bill
provides
a
conditional
exception
to
that
14
prohibition.
If
an
implement
of
husbandry
may
be
operated
15
on
the
segment
of
the
highway
known
as
United
States
highway
16
65,
and
state
highway
5
where
the
highway
designations
overlap
17
(segment),
between
the
highway’s
intersection
with
United
18
States
highway
6
and
the
highway’s
intersection
with
United
19
States
highway
69,
prior
to
the
date
the
segment
becomes
20
part
of
the
interstate
road
system,
then
the
implement
of
21
husbandry
may
continue
to
be
operated
on
that
segment
until
an
22
alternative
route
for
implements
of
husbandry
is
developed,
23
deemed
suitable
by
the
department
of
transportation
(DOT),
24
and
opened
for
traffic
to
bypass
the
interstate
road
system
25
segment.
26
Under
current
law,
an
“implement
of
husbandry”
means
a
27
vehicle
or
special
mobile
equipment
manufactured,
designed,
28
or
reconstructed
for
agricultural
purposes
and,
except
29
for
incidental
uses,
is
exclusively
used
in
the
conduct
of
30
agricultural
operations.
To
be
considered
an
implement
of
31
husbandry,
a
self-propelled
qualifying
vehicle
must
be
operated
32
at
speeds
of
35
MPH
or
less.
33
The
bill
appropriates
$250,000
from
the
general
fund
of
the
34
state
to
the
DOT
to
conduct
an
alternative
highway
study

develop
and
implement
an

of
husbandry,
so
the
implements
can
be
2
operated
on
a
highway
other
than
the
interstate
road
system
3
segment.

The
bill
applies
to
the
segment
on
the
effective
date
of
the
5
bill,
and
will
continue
to
apply
to
the

of
