(a)“Highway route controlled quantity” has the meaning given in 49 CFR 173.403 .

(b)“Permit” means a permit for the transport of radiological materials issued under this section.

(2)No person may operate on a highway any motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer carrying a highway route controlled quantity of radiological materials without a permit.

(3)The department may issue single-trip permits for the transport of radiological materials. A permit shall include all of the following:

(a)A designated route to be used by the permittee.

(b)A requirement for an escort by the state traffic patrol.

(4)An application for a permit shall be made to the department using an electronic application process established by the department. The department shall charge a fee of $1,800 for a permit. All moneys received from fees imposed by the department under this subsection shall be deposited in the transportation fund.

(5)All of the following apply to a permit:

(a)A permit may be issued only by the department, regardless of the highways to be used.

(b)The department may impose any reasonable conditions for permit application and for operation under a permit that it deems necessary for the safety of travel and protection of the highways.

(c)If an applicant’s proposed route includes a highway under the jurisdiction of a local authority, the department shall, prior to issuing a permit, submit the permit application to the officer in charge of maintenance of that highway. The department may issue the permit, notwithstanding any objections of the officer, if, after consulting with the officer, the department determines that the objections lack merit.

(d)Vehicles, trailers, and semitrailers operated or transported under a permit are exempt from the restrictions and limitations imposed by this chapter on size, weight, and load to the extent stated in the permit. Any person who violates a condition of a permit under which that person is operating is subject to the same penalties as would be applicable if that person were operating without a permit.
