| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| Exempting vehicles modified for snow plowing on town or state roads from weight limits could significantly increase damage to state roads, thereby increasing costs to the Maintenance and Operations program within the Department of Transportation. The costs will depend on the number and type of vehicles that are modified to plow snow and can not be determined at this time. | ||||||
