6205 AMH TR H4498.1

SB 6205 - H COMM AMD ADOPTED 03/03/94

By Committee on Transportation

    Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  A new section is added to chapter 46.44 RCW to read as follows:

    The switch that controls the raising and lowering of the retractable rear booster or tag axle on a ready-mix cement truck may be located within the reach of the driver's compartment as long as the variable control, used to adjust axle loadings by regulating air pressure or by other means, is out of the reach of the driver's compartment."

EFFECT:  Technical changes are made to clarify original intent -- the provisions only apply to the retractable rear tag or booster axle.  Some new cement trucks are designed with a retractable lift axle between the front and rear axles.
