4/11/06-The House Transportation, Highways and Public Works Committee voted 6-5 Monday, April 10, to defer action on a bill that would limit trucks with three or more axles to the right lanes of limited access highways and interstates with three or more lanes in each direction.
Sponsored by Rep. Dale Erdey, R-Livingston, HB142 could still be brought back for consideration. It must be rescheduled for a committee hearing once the panel has heard all other House bills requested for consideration. If that requirement is met, two-thirds of the committee members still would need to sign off on its reconsideration.
