A bill for an act relating to fluid milk products annual permits, and including effective date provisions.

HF 2651 amends Iowa's fluid milk product permit rules to allow vehicles weighing up to 136,000 pounds (previously capped at 96,000 pounds) for transport on certain roads. It removes the restriction requiring permits only for primary roads in cities, enabling local authorities (not just the DOT) to issue these annual permits. The bill also requires the DOT to establish rules for minimum axle configuration distances but maintains the existing 20,000-pound-per-axle weight limit. This change directly affects dairy transport companies and local governments managing road permits, effective January 1, 2027.
