Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1. ORS 818.230 is amended to read:
  818.230. A sifting or leaking load permit is a vehicle permit
that is issued as evidence of a grant of authority to operate a
vehicle loaded or constructed in a manner that, without the
permit, would violate ORS 818.300. Each road authority shall

section shall comply with all of the following:
  (1) Permits shall be in writing.
  (2) Permits shall be issued only for the following:
  (a) Vehicles transporting food processing plant by-products to
be used for livestock feed or fertilizer from which there is
  { - fluid leakage - }  { +  sifting or leaking of fluids or
solids + }.
  (b) Vehicles transporting agricultural products from which
there is   { - fluid leakage - }  { +  sifting or leaking of
fluids or solids + }, while the vehicles are en route from the
place of harvest to a place where the products will be processed,
stored or sold.
  (3) Permits shall be issued for a maximum period of one year.
  (4) Permits are revocable if the issuing road authority finds
that the amount or character of the   { - fluid leakage - }  { +
sifting or leaking fluids or solids + } is such that it
constitutes a danger to other vehicles.
  (5) The fee for issuance of a sifting or leaking load permit is
as provided under ORS 818.270.
  (6) No fee shall be charged for issuance of a permit to the
federal government, agencies of the State of Oregon, counties or
cities.
