Iowa 65 Foot Twin-Trailer Trucks Approved May 1
Iowa faces a legal deadline as 65 foot twin trailer trucks could become legal on May 1 unless lawmakers act within 60 days. Attorney General Turner calls the commission’s conditions illegal and says the rule may stand if the General Assembly takes no action by the deadline. Rod Rigler and Donald Gardner of the transportation commission indicate they will not appeal. The issue traces to a veto and a 60 day window granted when the department was created. If lawmakers take no action, the trucks become legal. the commission may revise the rule by January 17 1976.
