1 7 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
1 8
1 9 Section 1. Section 321.463, subsection 4, paragraph b,
1 10 Code Supplement 1999, is amended by striking the paragraph and
1 11 inserting in lieu thereof the following:
1 12 b. (1) Notwithstanding any provision of this section to
1 13 the contrary, the weight on any one axle of a fence-line
1 14 feeder, grain cart, or tank wagon operated on the highways of
1 15 this state shall not exceed twenty-four thousand pounds from
1 16 February 1 through May 31 or twenty-eight thousand pounds from
1 17 June 1 through January 31, provided, however, that the maximum
1 18 gross vehicle weight of the fence-line feeder, grain cart, or
1 19 tank wagon shall not exceed ninety-six thousand pounds.
1 20 A fence-line feeder, grain cart, or tank wagon shall comply
1 21 with the other provisions of this section and chapter when
1 22 operated over a bridge in this state. A local authority may
1 23 issue a special permit, based on a statewide standard
1 24 developed by the department, allowing the operation over a
1 25 bridge within its jurisdiction of a fence-line feeder, grain
1 26 cart, or tank wagon with a weight in excess of the weights
1 27 allowed under this chapter.
1 28 (2) For purposes of this paragraph "b", "highway" does not
1 29 include a bridge.
1 30 For purposes of this paragraph "b", "fence-line feeder,
1 31 grain cart, or tank wagon" means all of the following:
1 32 (a) A fence-line feeder, grain cart, or tank wagon
1 33 manufactured on or after July 1, 2001.
1 34 (b) After July 1, 2005, any fence-line feeder, grain cart,
1 35 or tank wagon.
2 1 The year of manufacture of a fence-line feeder, grain cart,
2 2 or tank wagon manufactured on or after July 1, 2001, shall be
2 3 permanently made a part of the identification plate on the
2 4 vehicle. Fraudulently altering or defacing or attempting to
2 5 fraudulently alter or deface the year of manufacture or other
2 6 product identification number on a fence-line feeder, grain
2 7 cart, or tank wagon is a violation of section 321.92.
2 8 Sec. 2. IMPLEMENTS OF HUSBANDRY STUDY. The state
2 9 department of transportation shall, in consultation with
2 10 manufacturers and distributors of implements of husbandry,
2 11 agricultural associations, and the Iowa state association of
2 12 counties, complete the study described in 1999 Iowa Acts,
2 13 chapter 108, section 12, as it pertains to tracked vehicles.
2 14 The department shall report its findings and recommendations
2 15 to the general assembly by December 1, 2000.
