Agricultural and Forestry Hauling Efficiency Act

Bill 119 HR 1487, also known as the "Agricultural Vehicle Weight Increase Act," aims to amend title 23 of the United States Code to allow for an increase in the maximum gross vehicle weight for certain agricultural vehicles operating on a specific segment of the Interstate System in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The bill proposes to raise the weight limit for these agricultural vehicles in order to better accommodate the needs of farmers and agricultural workers in Virginia. By allowing for heavier loads to be transported on these specific roadways, the bill seeks to improve efficiency and productivity in the agricultural industry. In addition to increasing the weight limit for agricultural vehicles, the bill also includes provisions for the enforcement of these new regulations and outlines penalties for non-compliance. It is important to note that this legislation is specific to the Commonwealth of Virginia and does not apply to other states or regions. Overall, the Agricultural Vehicle Weight Increase Act aims to support the agricultural community in Virginia by providing them with the necessary resources to transport goods more effectively and efficiently.
