  1  1    Amend House File 2350, as amended, passed, and
  1  2 reprinted by the House, as follows:
  1  3    #1.  Page 3, by inserting after line 9 the
  1  4 following:
  1  5    "Sec.    .  Section 321E.1, unnumbered paragraph 1,
  1  6 Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1  7    The department and local authorities may in their
  1  8 discretion and upon application and with good cause
  1  9 being shown issue permits for the movement of
  1 10 construction machinery or asphalt repavers being
  1 11 temporarily moved on streets, roads or highways and
  1 12 for vehicles with indivisible loads which exceed the
  1 13 maximum dimensions and weights specified in sections
  1 14 321.452 to 321.466, but not to exceed the limitations
  1 15 imposed in sections 321E.1 to 321E.15 except as
  1 16 provided in sections 321E.29 and 321E.30.  Vehicles
  1 17 permitted to transport indivisible loads may exceed
  1 18 the width and length limitations specified in sections
  1 19 321.454 and 321.457 for the purpose of picking up an
  1 20 indivisible load or returning from delivery of the
  1 21 indivisible load.  Permits issued may be single-trip
  1 22 permits, multi-trip, or annual permits.  Permits shall
  1 23 be in writing and shall be carried in the cab of the
  1 24 vehicle for which the permit has been issued and shall
  1 25 be available for inspection at all times.  The vehicle
  1 26 and load for which the permit has been issued shall be
  1 27 open to inspection by a peace officer or an authorized
  1 28 agent of a permit granting authority.  When in the
  1 29 judgment of the issuing authority in cities and
  1 30 counties the movement of a vehicle with an indivisible
  1 31 load or construction machinery which exceeds the
  1 32 maximum dimensions and weights will be unduly
  1 33 hazardous to public safety or will cause undue damage
  1 34 to streets, avenues, boulevards, thoroughfares,
  1 35 highways, curbs, sidewalks, trees, or other public or
  1 36 private property, the permit shall be denied and the
  1 37 reasons for denial endorsed on the application.
  1 38 Permits shall designate the days when and routes upon
  1 39 which loads and construction machinery may be moved
  1 40 within a county on other than primary roads.
  1 41    Sec.    .  Section 321E.2, Code 1995, is amended to
  1 42 read as follows:
  1 43    321E.2  PERMIT-ISSUING AUTHORITIES.
  1 44    Annual permits, multi-trip, and single-trip permits
  1 45 shall be issued by the authority responsible for the
  1 46 maintenance of the system of highways or streets.
  1 47 However, the department may issue permits on primary
  1 48 road extensions in cities in conjunction with
  1 49 movements on the rural primary road system.  The
  1 50 department may issue an all-system permit under
  2  1 section 321E.8 which is valid for movements on all
  2  2 highways or streets under the jurisdiction of either
  2  3 the state or those local authorities which have
  2  4 indicated in writing to the department those streets
  2  5 or highways for which an all-system permit is not
  2  6 valid.
  2  7    At the request of a local authority, the department
  2  8 shall issue annual, multi-trip, and single-trip
  2  9 permits that are under the jurisdiction of the local
  2 10 authority."
  2 11    #2.  Page 3, by inserting after line 28 the
  2 12 following:
  2 13    "Sec.    .  NEW SECTION.  321E.9A  MULTI-TRIP

  2 18 following:
  2 19    1.  Vehicles with indivisible loads having an

  3  2 state and local authorities when more than one
  3  3 governmental authority provides or is required to
  3  4 provide escort for a movement during the period of a
  3  5 day shall be determined by rule under section 321E.15.
  3  6 The department and local authorities may charge a
  3  7 permit applicant for the cost of trimming trees and
  3  8 removal and replacement of natural obstructions or
  3  9 official signs and signals or other public or private
  3 10 property required to be removed during the movement of
