Amends existing law to provide that the director of the Idaho State Police and the Idaho Transportation Board shall have authority to perform safety inspections and safety training programs, issue certain orders, and enforce certain rules if a logging truck is operating on public highways; and to provide that logging trucks are subject to certain administrative rules if transporting on public highways.
LOGGING -- Amends existing law to provide that the director of the Idaho State Police and the Idaho Transportation Board shall have authority to perform safety inspections and safety training programs, issue certain orders, and enforce certain rules if a logging truck is operating on public highways; and to provide that logging trucks are subject to certain administrative rules if transporting on public highways.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose for this proposed legislation is to ensure the safe transportation of saw logs from the point of origin to the final delivery point at the mill. Today there are rules governing the safety of log hauling in the woods, HOWEVER, it has been determined the safety rules do not apply on the highways of Idaho. This bill provides for the participation of the Idaho State Police and the Ports of Entry in the assurance of safely loaded and secured logs on the highways of Idaho.
