| This bill increases the annual registration fee for a camp |
| trailer or semitrailer exceeding 2,000 pounds from $18 to $20. |
| It increases the fee for a semipermanent registration plate |
| from $10 to $12 for each semitrailer and increases the fee for |
| a 20-year semipermanent semitrailer registration plate from |
| $10 to $12 per year for each registration. It repeals the |
| requirement that a 53-foot semitrailer permit must be obtained |
| from the Secretary of State in order for a single semitrailer |
| whose total length exceeds 48 feet but does not exceed 53 feet |
| to be operated in combination with a truck tractor on certain |
| highways. It provides that the maximum gross weight of such a |
| vehicle may not exceed 80,000 pounds or the maximum gross |
| vehicle weight permitted by law, whichever is less, whenever |
| the vehicle is traveling on the Maine Turnpike or on |
| Interstate 95 from the southern terminus of the Maine Turnpike |
| to the New Hampshire state line. |
