The state House of Representatives passed legislation that would create an annual, seasonal overweight hauling permit to transport agricultural liming materials, seed and fertilizer.

House Bill 1232, which was approved Thursday, would create an annual permit that could be used between March and June to allow vehicles up to 95,000 pounds to haul agricultural liming materials, seed and fertilizer on state roads, excluding interstates.

The Department of Transportation grants similar permits for the hauling of raw milk and grain, said Rep. Jason Silvis, R-55th, who wrote the bill.

The bill goes to the Senate for its consideration.
