ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Revenue and the Missouri Highway Patrol assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agencies.
Officials from the Department of Transportation assume this proposal would result in approximately 20 fewer permits for over length loads issued in any given year. The average cost of the over length permit is $100. Twenty fewer permits, at $100 each, would result in an estimated loss to the Road Fund of $2,000 each fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
This legislation allows transporters to increase the maximum length from 65 to 75 feet. This provision will reduce the fees that small businesses pay for over length load permits.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal defines dromedary and adds this type of motor vehicle to the list of motor vehicles subject to length limits. It also increases the maximum length from 65 to 75 feet for vehicle combinations (auto and trailer) allowed on the interstate and designated highways.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
