28 Sec. 3-402.1. Proportional Registration. Any owner or
29 rental owner engaged in operating a fleet of apportionable
30 vehicles in this state and one or more other states may, in
31 lieu of registration of such vehicles under the general
32 provisions of sections 3-402, 3-815 and 3-819, register and

17 such owner's apportionment factor. In determining the total
18 fee payment, such owner shall first compute the license fee
19 for each vehicle within the fleet which would otherwise be
20 required, and then multiply the said amount by the Illinois
21 apportionment factor adding the fees for each vehicle to
22 arrive at a total amount for the fleet. Apportionable
23 trailers and semitrailers will be registered in accordance
24 with the provisions of Section 3-813 of this Code.
25 Upon receipt of the appropriate fees from such owner as
26 computed under the provisions of this section, the Secretary
27 of State shall, when this state is the base jurisdiction,
28 issue to such owner number plates or other distinctive tags
29 or such evidence of registration as the Secretary of State
30 shall deem appropriate to identify each vehicle in the fleet
31 as a part of a proportionally registered interstate fleet.
32 Vehicles registered under the provision of this section
33 shall be considered fully licensed and properly registered in
34 Illinois for any type of movement or operation. The
HB0288 Engrossed -41- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 proportional registration and licensing provisions of this
2 section shall apply to vehicles added to fleets and operated
3 in this state during the registration year, applying the same
4 apportionment factor to such fees as would be payable for the
5 remainder of the registration year.
6 Apportionment factors for apportionable vehicles not
7 operated in this state during the preceding year shall be
8 determined by the Secretary of State on the basis of a full
9 statement of the proposed methods of operation and in
10 conformity with an estimated mileage chart as calculated by
11 the Secretary of State. An established fleet adding states
12 at the time of renewal shall estimate mileage for the added
13 states in conformity with a mileage chart developed by the
14 Secretary of State.

20 General Assembly finds that the acquisition and
21 disposition of vehicles and their essential parts are
22 strictly controlled by law and that such acquisitions and
23 dispositions are reflected by documents of title, uniform
24 invoices, rental contracts, leasing agreements and bills
25 of sale. It may be inferred, therefore that a person
26 exercising exclusive unexplained possession over a stolen
27 or converted vehicle or an essential part of a stolen or
28 converted vehicle has knowledge that such vehicle or
29 essential part is stolen or converted, regardless of
30 whether the date on which such vehicle or essential part

15 police reassignment plate, Secretary of State assigned
16 plate, rosette rivet, or facsimile of such which has not
17 yet been attached to or has been removed from the
18 original or assigned vehicle. It is an affirmative
19 defense to subsection (a) of this Section that the person
20 possessing, buying, selling or exchanging a plate mylar
21 sticker or label described in this paragraph is a police
22 officer doing so as part of his official duties, or is a

25 sticker or Federal certificate label originally placed on
26 the vehicle by the manufacturer of the vehicle or any
27 essential part thereof;

9 permit by ordinance axle loads on 2 axle motor vehicles 33
10 1/2% above those provided for herein, but the increase shall
11 not become effective until the city has officially notified
12 the Department of the passage of the ordinance and shall not
13 apply to those vehicles when outside of the limits of the
14 city, nor shall the gross weight of any 2 axle motor vehicle
15 operating over any street of the city exceed 40,000 pounds.
16 (d) Weight limitations shall not apply to vehicles
17 (including loads) operated by a public utility when
18 transporting equipment required for emergency repair of
19 public utility facilities or properties or water wells.
20 A combination of vehicles, including a tow truck and a
21 disabled vehicle or disabled combination of vehicles, that
22 exceeds the weight restriction imposed by this Code, may be
23 operated on a public highway in this State provided that
24 neither the disabled vehicle nor any vehicle being towed nor
25 the tow truck itself shall exceed the weight limitations
26 permitted under this Chapter. During the towing operation,
27 neither the tow truck nor the vehicle combination shall
28 exceed the following axle weight limitations:

30 B. 44,000 pounds - Tandem rear axle;
31 Gross weight limits shall not apply to the combination of
32 the tow truck and vehicles being towed. The tow truck
33 license plate must cover the operating empty weight of the
HB0288 Engrossed -92- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 tow truck only. The weight of each vehicle being towed shall
2 be covered by a valid license plate issued to the owner or
3 operator of the vehicle being towed and displayed on that
4 vehicle. If no valid plate issued to the owner or operator of
5 that vehicle is displayed on that vehicle, or the plate
6 displayed on that vehicle does not cover the weight of the
7 vehicle, the weight of the vehicle shall be covered by the
8 third tow truck plate issued to the owner or operator of the
9 tow truck and temporarily affixed to the vehicle being towed.
10 In addition, the following conditions must be met:
11 (1) the towing vehicle must be:
12 a. specifically designed as a tow truck having
13 a gross vehicle weight rating of at least 18,000
14 lbs. and equipped with air brakes provided that air
15 brakes shall be required only if the towing vehicle
16 is towing a vehicle, semitrailer, or tractor-trailer
17 combination that is equipped with airbrakes;
18 b. equipped with flashing, rotating or
19 oscillating amber lights, visible for at least 500
20 feet in all directions; and
21 c. capable of utilizing the lighting and
22 braking systems of the disabled vehicle or
23 combination of vehicles.
24 (2) The towing of the vehicles on the highways of
25 this State shall not exceed 15 miles from the initial
26 point of wreck or disablement. Any additional movement of
27 the vehicles shall only occur upon issuance of
28 authorization for that movement under the provisions of
29 Sections 15-301 through 15-319 of this Chapter.
30 The Department may by rule or regulation prescribe
31 additional requirements. However, nothing in this Code shall
32 prohibit a tow truck under instructions of a police officer
33 from legally clearing a disabled vehicle, that may be in
34 violation of weight limitations of this Chapter, from the
HB0288 Engrossed -93- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 roadway to the berm or shoulder of the highway.
2 For the purpose of this subsection, gross vehicle weight
3 rating, or GVWR, shall mean the value specified by the
4 manufacturer as the loaded weight of the tow truck.
5 (e) No vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with
6 pneumatic tires shall be operated, unladen or with load, upon
7 the highways of this State in violation of the provisions of
8 any permit issued under the provisions of Sections 15-301
9 through 15-319 of this Chapter.
10 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Code,
11 except for those provisions of subsection (d) of this Section
12 relating to emergency operations of public utilities and tow
13 trucks while actually engaged in the towing of a disabled
14 vehicle, and those vehicles for which the Department issues
15 overweight permits under authority of Section 15-301 of this
16 Code, the weight limitations contained in this subsection
17 shall apply to the National System of Interstate and Defense
18 Highways and other highways in the system of State highways
19 that have been designated by the Department as Class I, II,
20 or III. No vehicle shall be operated on the highways with a
21 weight in excess of 20,000 pounds carried on any one axle or
22 with a tandem axle weight in excess of 34,000 pounds, or a
23 gross weight in excess of 80,000 pounds for vehicle
24 combinations of 5 axles or more, or a gross weight on a group
25 of 2 or more consecutive axles in excess of that weight
26 produced by the application of the following formula:
27 W = 500 times the sum of (LN divided by N-1) + 12N + 36
28 Where "W" equals overall gross weight on any group of 2 or
29 more consecutive axles to the nearest 500 pounds; "L" equals
30 the distance measured to the nearest foot between extremes of
31 any group of 2 or more consecutive axles; and "N" equals the
32 number of axles in the group under consideration, except that
33 2 consecutive sets of tandem axles may carry a gross load of
34 34,000 pounds each, provided the overall distance between the
HB0288 Engrossed -94- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 first and last axles of the consecutive sets of tandem axles
2 is 36 feet or more. Provided also that a 3-axle vehicle
3 registered as a Special Hauling Vehicle manufactured prior to
4 or in the model year of 2004, and first registered in
5 Illinois prior to January 1, 2005, with a distance greater
6 than 72 inches but not more than 96 inches between the 2 rear
7 axles may transmit to the road surface a maximum weight of
8 18,000 pounds on each of the 2 rear axles with a gross weight
9 on these 2 axles not to exceed 36,000 pounds. Any vehicle
10 registered as a Special Hauling Vehicle manufactured prior to
11 or in the model year of 2004 or thereafter or first
12 registered in Illinois after December 31, 2004, may transmit
13 to the road surface a maximum of 34,000 pounds through the 2
14 rear axles and neither of the rear axles shall exceed 20,000
15 pounds. For purposes of this subsection, tandem axles shall
16 be defined as any 2 or more single axles whose centers are
17 more than 40 inches and not more than 96 inches apart,
18 measured to the nearest inch between extreme axles in the
19 series.
20 The above formula when expressed in tabular form results

17 axles are tandem axles and the maximum load permitted is
18 34,000 pounds, notwithstanding the higher limit resulting
19 from the application of the formula.
20 In applying the above formula to a vehicle having more
21 than 4 axles that is not a combination, only 4 axles shall be
22 considered in determining the maximum gross weight, and for a
23 combination of vehicles having more than 6 axles, only 6
24 axles shall be considered in determining the maximum gross
25 weight.
26 Notwithstanding the above table, 2 consecutive sets of
27 tandem axles may carry a gross weight of 34,000 pounds each
28 if the overall distance between the first and last axles of
29 the consecutive sets of tandem axles is 36 feet or more.
30 Local authorities and road district highway
31 commissioners, with respect to streets and highways under
32 their jurisdiction, without additional fees, may also by
33 ordinance or resolution allow the weight limitations of this
34 subsection, provided the maximum gross weight on any one axle
HB0288 Engrossed -97- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 shall not exceed 20,000 pounds and the maximum gross weight
2 on any tandem axle shall not exceed 34,000 pounds, on
3 designated highways when appropriate regulatory signs giving
4 notice are erected upon the street or highway or portion of
5 any street or highway affected by the ordinance or
6 resolution.
7 Combinations of vehicles, registered as Special Hauling
8 Vehicles that include a semitrailer manufactured prior to or
9 in the model year of 2004, and first registered in Illinois
10 prior to January 1, 2005, having 5 axles with a distance of
11 42 feet or less between extreme axles shall be limited to the
12 weights prescribed in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
13 and not subject to the bridge formula on the National System
14 of Interstate and Defense Highways and other highways in the
15 system of State highways designated by the Department. For
16 all those combinations of vehicles, that include a
17 semitrailer manufactured after the effective date of this
18 amendatory Act of 1986, the overall distance between the
19 first and last axles of the 2 sets of tandems must be 18 feet
20 6 inches or more. All combinations of vehicles registered as
21 Special Hauling Vehicles that include a semitrailer
22 manufactured prior to or in the model year of 2004 or
23 thereafter or first registered in Illinois after December 31,
24 2004, or that has had its cargo container replaced in its
25 entirety after December 31, 2004, are limited to the gross
26 weight allowed by the above formula.
27 A truck not in combination, equipped with a self
28 compactor or an industrial roll-off hoist and roll-off
29 container, used exclusively for garbage or refuse operations,
30 shall be allowed the weights as prescribed in subsections (a)
31 and (b) of this Section and not subject to the bridge
32 formula, provided they are not operated on a highway that is
33 part of the Interstate and Defense Highway System.
34 Vehicles operating under this subsection shall have
HB0288 Engrossed -98- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 access for a distance of one highway mile to or from a Class
2 I highway on any street or highway, unless there is a sign
3 prohibiting the access, or 5 highway miles to or from either
4 a Class I, II, or III highway on a street or highway included
5 in the system of State highways and upon any street or
6 highway designated by local authorities or road district
7 commissioners to points of loading and unloading and to
8 facilities for food, fuel, repairs and rest.
9 Section 5-35 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act
10 relating to procedures for rulemaking shall not apply to the
11 designation of highways under this subsection.
12 (g) No person shall operate a vehicle or combination of
13 vehicles over a bridge or other elevated structure
14 constituting part of a highway with a gross weight that is
15 greater than the maximum weight permitted by the Department,
16 when the structure is sign posted as provided in this
17 Section.
18 (h) The Department upon request from any local authority
19 shall, or upon its own initiative may, conduct an
20 investigation of any bridge or other elevated structure
21 constituting a part of a highway, and if it finds that the
22 structure cannot with safety to itself withstand the weight
23 of vehicles otherwise permissible under this Code the
24 Department shall determine and declare the maximum weight of
25 vehicles that the structures can withstand, and shall cause
26 or permit suitable signs stating maximum weight to be erected
27 and maintained before each end of the structure. No person
28 shall operate a vehicle or combination of vehicles over any
29 structure with a gross weight that is greater than the posted
30 maximum weight.

6 Sec. 15-301. Permits for excess size and weight.
7 (a) The Department with respect to highways under its
8 jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
9 under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon
10 application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a
11 special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
12 vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of
13 vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act
14 or otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway
15 under the jurisdiction of the party granting such permit and
16 for the maintenance of which the party is responsible.
17 Applications and permits other than those in written or
18 printed form may only be accepted from and issued to the
19 company or individual making the movement. Except for an
20 application to move directly across a highway, it shall be
21 the duty of the applicant to establish in the application
22 that the load to be moved by such vehicle or combination is
23 composed of a single nondivisible object that cannot
24 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled. More than one
25 object may be carried under permit as long as the carriage of
26 the additional object or objects does not cause the size or
27 weight of the vehicle or load to exceed beyond that required
28 for carriage of the single, nondivisible indivisible object
29 itself. For the purpose of over length movements, more than
30 one object may be carried side by side as long as the height,
31 width, and weight laws are not exceeded and the cause for the
32 over length is not due to multiple objects. For the purpose
33 of over height movements, more than one object may be carried
HB0288 Engrossed -100- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 as long as the cause for the over height is not due to
2 multiple objects and the length, width, and weight laws are
3 not exceeded. For the purpose of an over width movement,
4 more than one object may be carried as long as the cause for
5 the over width is not due to multiple objects and length,
6 height, and weight laws are not exceeded. No state or local
7 agency shall authorize the issuance of excess size or weight
8 permits for vehicles and loads that are divisible and that
9 can be carried, when divided, within the existing size or
10 weight maximums specified in this Chapter. Any excess size
11 or weight permit issued in violation of the provisions of
12 this Section shall be void at issue and any movement made
13 thereunder shall not be authorized under the terms of the
14 void permit. In any prosecution for a violation of this
15 Chapter when the authorization of an excess size or weight
16 permit is at issue, it is the burden of the defendant to
17 establish that the permit was valid because the load to be
18 moved could not reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or
19 was otherwise nondivisible indivisible.
20 (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
21 whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for
22 limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is
23 an authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of
24 Property Law, if so, his certificate, registration or permit
25 number issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3)
26 specifically describe and identify the vehicle or vehicles
27 and load to be operated or moved except that for vehicles or
28 vehicle combinations registered by the Department as provided
29 in Section 15-319 of this Chapter, only the Illinois
30 Department of Transportation's (IDT) registration number or
31 classification need be given; (4) state the routing requested
32 including the points of origin and destination, and may
33 identify and include a request for routing to the nearest
34 certified scale in accordance with the Department's rules and
HB0288 Engrossed -101- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 regulations, provided the applicant has approval to travel on
2 local roads; and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being
3 transported for hire. No permits for the movement of a
4 vehicle or load for hire shall be issued to any applicant who
5 is required under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law
6 to have a certificate, registration or permit and does not
7 have such certificate, registration or permit.
8 (c) The Department or local authority when not
9 inconsistent with traffic safety is authorized to issue or
10 withhold such permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is
11 issued at its discretion to prescribe the route or routes to
12 be traveled, to limit the number of trips, to establish
13 seasonal or other time limitations within which the vehicles
14 described may be operated on the highways indicated, or
15 otherwise to limit or prescribe conditions of operations of
16 such vehicle or vehicles, when necessary to assure against
17 undue damage to the road foundations, surfaces or structures,
18 and may require such undertaking or other security as may be
19 deemed necessary to compensate for any injury to any roadway
20 or road structure. The Department shall maintain a daily
21 record of each permit issued along with the fee and the
22 stipulated dimensions, weights, conditions and restrictions
23 authorized and this record shall be presumed correct in any
24 case of questions or dispute. The Department shall install an
25 automatic device for recording applications received and
26 permits issued by telephone. In making application by
27 telephone, the Department and applicant waive all objections
28 to the recording of the conversation.
29 (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing
30 from any local authority, issue a semi-annual permit
31 authorizing the local authority to move oversize highway
32 construction, transportation, utility and maintenance
33 equipment over roads under the jurisdiction of the
34 Department. The permit shall be applicable only to equipment
HB0288 Engrossed -102- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 and vehicles owned by or registered in the name of the local
2 authority, and no fee shall be charged for the issuance of
3 such permits.
4 (e) As an exception to paragraph (a) of this Section,
5 the Department and local authorities, with respect to
6 highways under their respective jurisdictions, in their
7 discretion and upon application in writing may issue a
8 special permit for limited continuous operation, authorizing
9 the applicant to move loads of sweet corn, soybeans, corn,
10 wheat, milo, other small grains and ensilage during the
11 harvest season only on a 2 axle single vehicle registered by
12 the Secretary of State with axle loads not to exceed 35%
13 above those provided in Section 15-111. Permits may be issued
14 for a period not to exceed 40 days and moves may be made of a
15 distance not to exceed 25 miles from a field to a specified
16 processing plant over any highway except the National System
17 of Interstate and Defense Highways. All such vehicles shall
18 be operated in the daytime except when weather or crop
19 conditions require emergency operation at night, but with
20 respect to such night operation, every such vehicle with load
21 shall be equipped with flashing amber lights as specified
22 under Section 12-215. Upon a declaration by the Governor that
23 an emergency harvest situation exists, a special permit
24 issued by the Department under this Section shall not be
25 required from September 1 through December 31 during harvest
26 season emergencies, provided that the weight does not exceed
27 20% above the limits provided in Section 15-111. All other
28 restrictions that apply to permits issued under this Section
29 shall apply during the declared time period. With respect to
30 highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the
31 local authorities may, at their discretion, waive special
32 permit requirements during harvest season emergencies. This
33 permit exemption shall apply to all vehicles eligible to
34 obtain permits under this Section, including commercial
HB0288 Engrossed -103- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 vehicles in use during the declared time period.
2 (f) The form and content of the permit shall be
3 determined by the Department with respect to highways under
4 its jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to
5 highways under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in
6 written form and carried in the vehicle or combination of
7 vehicles to which it refers and shall be open to inspection
8 by any police officer or authorized agent of any authority
9 granting the permit and no person shall violate any of the
10 terms or conditions of such special permit. Violation of the
11 terms and conditions of the permit shall not be deemed a
12 revocation of the permit; however, any vehicle and load found
13 to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to
14 be operating without a permit. Any off route vehicle and
15 load shall be required to obtain a new permit or permits, as
16 necessary, to authorize the movement back onto the original
17 permit routing. No rule or regulation, nor anything herein
18 shall be construed to authorize any police officer, court, or
19 authorized agent of any authority granting the permit to
20 remove the permit from the possession of the permittee unless
21 the permittee is charged with a fraudulent permit violation
22 as provided in paragraph (i). However, upon arrest for an
23 offense of violation of permit, operating without a permit
24 when the vehicle is off route, or any size or weight offense
25 under this Chapter when the permittee plans to raise the
26 issuance of the permit as a defense, the permittee, or his
27 agent, must produce the permit at any court hearing
28 concerning the alleged offense.
29 If the permit designates and includes a routing to a
30 certified scale, the permitee, while enroute to the
31 designated scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the
32 weight provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross
33 weights do not exceed any of the permitted limits by more
34 than the following amounts:
HB0288 Engrossed -104- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 Single axle 2000 pounds
2 Tandem axle 3000 pounds
3 Gross 5000 pounds
4 (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
5 make available to interested persons a policy concerning
6 reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
7 operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
8 those contained in this Section for the movement by special
9 permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot
10 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including
11 manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof.
12 All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted
13 in the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the
14 traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
15 shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
16 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The
17 requirements of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles
18 shall be the same for all moves of comparable size and
19 weight. When escort vehicles are required, they shall meet
20 the following requirements:
21 (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over
22 and properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
23 (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than
24 12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or flashing
25 amber light mounted on top as specified under Section
26 12-215.
27 The Department shall establish reasonable rules and
28 regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance
29 for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under The
30 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
31 required for escort under circumstances as required by rules
32 and regulations of the Department.
33 (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or
34 provision of any permit issued in accordance with the
HB0288 Engrossed -105- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
2 null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of
3 violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight
4 or load limitations in excess of those authorized by the
5 permit. The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not
6 mere rules, limitations, conditions, or provisions of the
7 permit, but are also the sole extent of the authorization
8 granted by the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to be
9 off the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
10 movement, the vehicle and load are operating without a
11 permit. Any off route movement shall be subject to the size
12 and weight maximums, under the applicable provisions of this
13 Chapter, as determined by the type or class highway upon
14 which the vehicle and load are being operated.
15 (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made
16 under a fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the
17 person, firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted,
18 the driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who
19 issued such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of
20 fraud and either one or all persons may be prosecuted for
21 such violation. Any person, firm, or corporation committing
22 such violation shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and the
23 Department shall not issue permits to the person, firm or
24 corporation convicted of such violation for a period of one
25 year after the date of conviction. Penalties for violations
26 of this Section shall be in addition to any penalties imposed
27 for violation of other Sections of this Act.
28 (j) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
29 violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
30 the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver of
31 such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
32 both, persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated
33 in this subsection (j). Any person, firm or corporation
34 convicted of such violation shall be guilty of a petty
HB0288 Engrossed -106- LRB9000475NTsbB
1 offense and shall be fined for the first offense, not less
2 than $50 nor more than $200 and, for the second offense by
3 the same person, firm or corporation within a period of one
4 year, not less than $200 nor more than $300 and, for the
5 third offense by the same person, firm or corporation within
6 a period of one year after the date of the first offense, not
7 less than $300 nor more than $500 and the Department shall
8 not issue permits to the person, firm or corporation
9 convicted of a third offense during a period of one year
10 after the date of conviction for such third offense.
11 (k) Whenever any vehicle is operated on local roads
12 under permits for excess width or length issued by local
13 authorities, such vehicle may be moved upon a State highway
14 for a distance not to exceed one-half mile without a permit
15 for the purpose of crossing the State highway.
16 (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
17 the Department, with respect to highways under its
18 jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
19 under their jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize
20 the movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or weight
21 requirement, or both, that would not ordinarily be eligible
22 for a permit, when there is a showing of extreme necessity
23 that the vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary
24 delay.
25 For the purpose of this subsection, showing of extreme
26 necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of
27 livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
28 in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
29 (m) Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
30 addition to any penalties imposed for violating any other
31 Section of this Code.
