Arkansas House rejects truck size bill in late session
LITTLE ROCK AP The Arkansas House refused to move Rep Bill Ramsey s truck bill to the floor, leaving it on the calendar with little chance of a vote before adjournment. Senate approved a measure barring constitutional tampering with Highway Commission structure, sending it to the House. The trucking bill would have raised weight from 73280 to 80000 pounds and length from 55 to 65 feet, but the Highway Department warned of road damage and higher costs. Pryor voiced reservations but did not veto. Ramsey and Preston Bynum said they would not push the measure again this session.
