AI Summary

  • Amends KRS 189.010 to expand the definition of "nondivisible load" to include electric vehicle batteries on any state-maintained highway, regardless of existing regulations in KRS 189.269
  • Creates a two-tiered definition structure for nondivisible loads: one for state highways not part of the national truck network (23 C.F.R. pt. 658) and one for all state-maintained highways
  • Existing criteria for nondivisible loads remain unchanged: loads that would compromise vehicle function, destroy load value, or require more than 4 work hours to dismantle and reassemble
  • Practical effect allows electric vehicle batteries to be transported as single nondivisible units, potentially qualifying for oversize/overweight permits rather than requiring separation
