9 Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
10 WHEREAS, it is important to ensure that Idaho's truck freight transporta-
11 tion system is able to efficiently serve the state's various economic and pub-
12 lic interests; and
13 WHEREAS, there is not complete agreement among the various trucking opera-
14 tions in the state with regard to the advisability of allowing vehicles weigh-
15 ing up to one hundred twenty-nine thousand pounds and of extra-length to use
16 all Idaho roads; and
17 WHEREAS, the differing viewpoints revolve largely around geographical,
18 safety and economic issues; and
19 WHEREAS, for trucking operations in northern Idaho, there is particular
20 concern for damage to bridges, and damage to roads that are not built to con-
21 sistently withstand heavier weights as are the generally flat, even and
22 ungrooved roads that are more typical of roads in southern Idaho; and
23 WHEREAS, there are safety issues unique to northern Idaho, such as moun-
24 tainous roads which tend to have more curves and often inadequate width to
25 accommodate longer, heavier trucks; stretches of roads with no passing lanes;
26 more annual road damage due to severe weather conditions; and longer, steeper
27 grades; and
28 WHEREAS, there are economic issues to consider which place some Idaho
29 haulers at a competitive disadvantage with commercial trucking operations in
30 surrounding states and Canada that operate under different weight and size
31 restrictions; and
32 WHEREAS, there is a need to more closely examine these issues as they
33 affect the several geographical regions of the state, and the barriers to an
34 effective north-south corridor.
35 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
36 of the Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and the
37 Senate concurring therein, that the Legislative Council is authorized to
38 appoint a committee to undertake and complete a study of truck routes in
39 northern Idaho from Bonners Ferry south to Grangeville for possible addition
40 to the map of routes approved for use by vehicles carrying loads up to one
41 hundred twenty-nine thousand pounds, and to consider the feasibility of making
42 significant improvements to those routes currently not approved for use by
43 extra-length vehicle combinations. The Legislative Council shall determine the
44 number of legislators and membership from each house appointed to the commit-
2
1 tee and shall authorize the committee to receive input, advice and assistance
2 from interested and affected parties who are not members of the legislature.
3 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nonlegislative members of the committee may be
4 appointed by the cochairs of the committee who are appointed by the Legisla-
5 tive Council. Nonlegislative members of the advisory committee shall not be
6 reimbursed from legislative funds for per diem, mileage or other expenses and
7 shall not have voting privileges regarding the committee's recommendations or

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 13019
This legislation authorizes the creation of an Interim Committee
to complete a study of truck routes in northern Idaho from
Bonner's Ferry to Grangeville for the possible addition of routes
for vehicles with loads up to one hundred twenty-nine thousand
(129,000)pounds. Also to consider improvements to routes
currently not approved for heavy load carrying vehicles.
FISCAL IMPACT
If this resolution is adopted by the Legislature and the
committee is appointed by the Legislative Council, any necessary
legislator travel and per diem expense would be paid from the
existing legislative appropriation to the Senate and House of
Representatives. Funding for staff support and expenses would be
provided from the existing appropriation to the Legislative
Council for the Legislative Services Office. There would be no
additional impact upon the state General Fund as a result of this
resolution.
