SB 779 - This act prohibits the Chief Engineer of the
Department of Transportation from issuing special permits for
manufactured homes exceeding 14 feet in width on lettered
highways or numbered roads that have shoulders less than six
feet wide. A permit can be issued if the chief engineer finds
that no other possible route is available to deliver the
manufactured home. If such a permit is issued, the
manufactured home can only be moved between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00
p.m. and the movement must be accompanied by a three-vehicle
escort.
