HB 1918 - This act raises the weight limit requirement on commercial motor vehicles that must stop at weigh stations. The limit is raised from 18,000 pounds to 24,000 pounds. This act also lowers the penalty for evading a weigh station. Under the act, a person evading a weigh station may be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor (up to 15 days in jail - up to $300 fine)(rather than a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment).
