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.
