HB 727 -- Housemovers

Co-Sponsors:  Crawford, Viebrock

This bill makes several revisions relating to regulation of
housemovers by the Highways and Transportation Commission.

All housemovers are required to have a valid housemovers license
issued by the commission.  To be eligible for a license, a person
must be at least 21 years old and have a valid class A commercial
driver's license.

Housemovers must have a certificate of issuance in an amount
established by rule by the Department of Transportation but not
less than $500,000.  An additional $100,000, instead of the
current $50,000 bond, must be filed by an applicant with the
department to cover any property damage arising from the movement
of a house.

Application for a special permit to move a house must be made at
least two weeks prior to the date of movement.  Currently, the
time period is two days.

In case of an emergency, an alternate route may be followed if
directed by a peace officer certificated by the Director of the
Department of Public Safety or by the Chief Engineer of the
Department of Transportation.

The bill also contains language on voiding a permit.
