CSHB 343(TRA) - DEFINITION OF COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE                   
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN LEMAN brought CSHB 343(TRA) before the committee.                     
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE GARY DAVIS, prime sponsor of HB 343, said the                   
legislation brings the state into compliance with federal law.  The            
legislation amends the definition of "commercial motor vehicle" in             
statute by expanding the exceptions to include "special mobile                 
equipment" (construction vehicles) that are driven on roads in                 
order to relocate the vehicle to a job site.                                   
                                                                               
REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS said the Department of Administration has no              
objection to the legislation.                                                  
                                                                               
There being no further testimony on the legislation, CHAIRMAN LEMAN            
asked for the pleasure of the committee on HB 343.                             
                                                                               
SENATOR MACKIE moved CSHB 343(TRA) and the accompanying zero fiscal            
note be passed out of committee with individual recommendations.               
Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
