SB 22-108

Senate Bill 22-108, which has been signed into law, changes the rules for truck owners in Colorado who need to pay weight-based fees. Instead of just providing a manufacturer's certificate showing the original shipping weight, truck owners now have to get their trucks weighed if there have been significant modifications that affect the truck’s weight. This applies to trucks weighing between 4,500 and 10,000 pounds, including any added equipment except for recreational gear. The law affects truck owners who need to pay certain fees based on their vehicle's weight and ensures that the weight reported is accurate after modifications.
