Abstract
(HB6428 · 103rd Legislature) Transportation: other; size, weight, and load requirements; modify. Amends sec. 722 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.722). Sponsor: Rep. Curtis VanderWall ® + 1 co-sponsor In committee: H Transportation And Infrastructure Latest action (2026-10-07): Bill Electronically Reproduced 10/06/2026
Why this matters
Vehicle size, weight, and load limits determine which trucks and loads can legally use Michigan roads, directly affecting pavement wear, bridge stress, freight costs, and enforcement practices. Amendments to MCL 257.722 are the recurring vehicle for adjusting those thresholds, so tracking introduced bills here establishes a baseline for later evaluating whether changes shift burdens between carriers, road agencies, and the public.
