This bill removes a provision that allows a chemical substance to be used as a bonding agent to secure a load in a vehicle.

AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah law currently requires vehicles hauling loose materials like dirt, gravel, sand, or scrap metal to have a physical covering over the load unless the load meets certain height and depth limits within the vehicle's cargo compartment, and it currently allows a chemical bonding agent (a spray-on substance that coats and holds the load in place) to count as that covering as long as it remains effective. This bill would eliminate that option, meaning a chemical bonding agent would no longer satisfy the covering requirement for transporting loose materials on Utah highways.
