AN ACT
To repeal section 301.133, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to special mobile equipment, with an emergency clause.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 301.133, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 301.133, to read as follows:
301.133. 1. Special mobile equipment may be moved on the highways of this state from one job location to another or to or from places of storage, delivery or repair without complying with the provisions of the law relating to titling and registration and display of license plates but shall comply with all the other requirements of the law relating to motor vehicles, except that such equipment, other than farm equipment, shall not be operated on state maintained roads or highways on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays, except in emergencies.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 1 of this section to the contrary, special mobile equipment that travels at a speed above any minimum posted speed limit and is capable of traveling at the uniform maximum speed limits as established in section 304.010, RSMo, does not exceed the maximum weight limits as established in subsection 3 of section 304.180, RSMo, and does not exceed the limitations on height, width, or length of section 304.170, RSMo, so as to require the issuance of a special permit pursuant to section 304.200, RSMo, may be operated on state maintained roads or highways at any time and on any day.
Section B. Because immediate action is necessary to promote efficiency in the continuation and completion of various road and highway projects, this act is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace, and safety, and is hereby declared to be an emergency act within the meaning of the constitution, and this act shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and approval.
