Beta

This bill updates rules about when builders can haul heavy loads of building materials on state roads without being stopped for exceeding weight limits. Builders constructing 10 or more homes within a one-mile area would need to apply for a permit and sign an agreement with the state Transportation Cabinet, which could require a bond and would direct collected funds toward repairing the state roads used. Who it may affect: home builders and construction companies operating in Kentucky, as well as residents who use state roads near active residential construction sites.
