HB 6 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Light and high profile vehicle closures.

HB 6 creates a new $2,500 penalty for drivers of light and high profile vehicles (such as trucks or buses) who ignore highway closure signs. The driver must pay the fine immediately upon violation, and a conviction counts as reckless driving under commercial driver's license rules. This can lead to a 90-day license suspension for a first offense, six months for a second offense within five years, or license revocation after two prior offenses. The bill directly affects commercial vehicle operators and drivers of taller/wider vehicles, as violations impact their ability to legally operate commercially.
