House Bill 749 amends the Transportation Code to refer to seed cotton generally, rather than seed cotton modules, in provisions relating to specialty license plates, motor vehicle safety rules, and weight, width, length, and height limitations. It clarifies the definition of a seed cotton module for purposes of an applicable commercial driver's license exemption. The bill provides for specialty license plates for motor vehicles that are used only to transport, or equipment that is used to transport or process, chile pepper modules. It applies to such vehicles the same width, length, and height limits that apply to vehicles used to transport cotton, and applies a weight limit of 54,000 pounds.
