BILL · 1991–92 SESSION · LATEST VERSION EHB 1118

HB 1118: Bus length restrictions

Adjusting length restrictions on buses.

Summary

Operation of an articulated auto stage with a maximum overall length of 61 feet is allowed on Washington highways. The language authorizing the DOT or a local legislative authority to restrict the routing of an auto stage or school bus is deleted as this authorization is addressed in a separate statute and is therefore housekeeping in nature.
