HB-1254 SAVES TIME AND MONEY AT THE PORT
|
The Port had a little problem. In order to move imported cars from ship to train, the cars had to cross a public roadway. For this to happen, each of the thousands of cars coming through the Port had to be individually registered. This cost time and money.
Thanks to Representative Jake Fey's
House Bill 1254
, and advocates, including the Chamber, this kind of transfer has now been simplified.
