Hay Bale Waiver Extended in Texas

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has extended the state’s height and permit waiver for transporting round hay bales, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles said.

The latest expiration date for the waiver is the end of April 13, although Perry’s letter to DMV Chairman John Walker III said the governor reserved the right to extend or repeal the waiver that has been in place since July 2011.

The waiver affects permitting requirements and height restrictions for cylindrical bales.
