Trucking Bill Effort Fails on House Floor Move
Springfield June 2 Staff Rep. Paul Powell failed to pull a trucking bill from the House Motor Vehicles Committee for floor action. The measure would set passenger car licenses at 10.4 yearly and overhaul truck license schedules, lowering fees for small trucks while raising charges for older high-mileage rigs and imposing weight mileage fees on out-of-state haulers. The attempt fell short of a constitutional majority, 359 to 56.
