HB 907 -- Traffic Regulations

Sponsor:  Britt

Under this bill, commercial motor vehicles that are identified
through automated means approved by this state and determined to
be in compliance are exempted from the requirement to stop at an
official weigh station.  Commercial motor vehicle enforcement
officers or inspectors are given authority to require a vehicle
to stop or be identified.  The statutes which govern
confidentiality and prohibit the release of information will not
apply to commercial motor vehicle enforcement officers or their
licensees in the performance of their duties at weigh stations.
Any person who fails to stop or improperly evades stopping at a
weigh station and who is later determined not to be in
compliance with the weight limits may, upon conviction, be
punished by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $500 or by
imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding one
year, or by both.
