AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current Utah law, vehicles hauling loose materials like dirt, gravel, or sand must have a physical covering over the load — but there has been an exception allowing a chemical bonding agent (a spray-on substance that coats and holds the load in place) to count as that covering. This bill eliminates that exception, meaning chemical bonding agents no longer satisfy the covering requirement for transporting loose materials on Utah highways
