NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1975 SESSION

CHAPTER 325
HOUSE BILL 577

AN ACT TO AMEND G.S. 20-118 PERTAINING TO TRUCK AXLE WEIGHTS.

Whereas, subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of G.S. 20-118 establish permissible axle weights for vehicles; and
Whereas, during the 1973 Session of the General Assembly passed Chapter 1449, which amended a portion of subsection (10) of G.S. 20-118 and thereby created a conflict with the other provisions of said G.S. 20-118 and it is desirable to rewrite said G.S. 20-118(10) to correct the conflict therewith; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 20-118(10) is amended by striking therefrom the proviso which immediately follows the table of distances and weights appearing therein and which reads:
"Provided the tandem axle weight shall not exceed 35,700 pounds where the gross weight of any vehicle or combination of vehicles having five or more axles exceeds 73,000 pounds."
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon its ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 19th day of May, 1975.
