Oklahoma House passes funds for truck weigh stations
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma House has approved legislation that will fund new Port of Entry truck weigh and inspection stations across the state.
The House voted 65-17 for the measure Thursday and sent it to Gov. Mary Fallin to be signed into law.
The measure redirects some fuel tax revenue from the Higher Education Facilities Fund to a weigh station improvement fund handled by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The fund will receive $500,000 a month until it reaches $51 million, which will take more than eight years.
The bill's author, Rep. Guy Liebmann of Oklahoma City, says the state's weigh stations are obsolete and need to be replaced.
A total of nine stations are planned. The first is scheduled to open Friday on Interstate 35 in Kay County near the Kansas border.
