Summary

00 Introduced in Senate Apr 4, 2004

Excludes certain vehicle safety devices from width calculations. Allows States to grant special use permits to vehicles in excess of the width limitation. Authorizes States to enforce commercial vehicle width limitations on Federal-aid highways. Repeals certain provisions of the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1983, to conform to this Act.
