House Bill 2620 amends the Transportation Code to create a Class C misdemeanor offense for a person who operates or moves a permitted oversize or overweight vehicle on a public highway and who is not named on the permit or is not an employee of the permitted person. The bill sets out exceptions to the offense and revises requirements relating to the movement of oversize or overweight vehicles, including the use of an escort flagger and an escort flag vehicle. Among other provisions, the bill provides for the denial of an application for an oversize or overweight vehicle permit by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
