9/25/03-Lawmakers failed to pass legislation this year that would have allowed individuals purchasing a permit to exceed size, weight or load limits for a motor vehicle to obtain both the permit required by the Nebraska Department of Roads and the local county at the same time and place.
Under current law, an individual must obtain a state permit, and then if a county permit is required, must travel to that particular county to obtain the permit. LB497 would have provided that the state permit and any required county permits could be obtained at the same time and location.
It was in the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee when the regular session ended May 30.
