Enrolled Bill Summary

The Transportation Code provides an optional procedure for the issuance of a permit for the movement of oversize or overweight vehicles carrying cargo on state highways in certain counties bordering Mexico. Senate Bill 934 amends the code to expand the list of highways on which overweight cargo may be transported for a fee. The act also increases the maximum percentage of the overweight cargo fee that may be spent on administrative costs from 10 to 15 percent and extends the authorization for the optional permit procedure from March 1, 2000, to March 1, 2005.
