DESCRIPTION



This proposal revises the current weigh station law. Under the current law, a person who avoids stopping at a weigh station must also be found to be overweight in order to be penalized for evading the weigh station. This proposal removes this qualification and simply penalizes a person for evading a weigh station, regardless of the reason.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
