Senate
Approves
Amendment
HARRISBURG
(Dauphin Co.) State
Sen. Noah Wenger's (R-
Lancaster) legislation to
authorize the issuance
of temporary permits for
fertilizer application for
in-state trucks has been
approved by the Senate.
Wenger said the bill
would correct an inequi
ty in current law that
only allows out-of-state
trucks to apply for
45-day permits for fer
tilizer application.
‘This was an over
sight in the law that
penalizes farmers who
use their farm trucks to
apply chemicals and fer
tilizers,” Wenger said.
“And the passage of this
law will correct the
problem and enable far
mers to receive the
necessary permits.”
Senate Bill 206 now
goes to the House of
Representatives for
consideration.
