Section 1 . 348.27 (9) (a) 1. b. of the statutes is amended to read:

348.27 (9) (a) 1. b. The transportation of exclusively peeled or unpeeled forest products cut crosswise, wood chips, or forestry biomass anywhere upon USH 2 in Iron County , Florence County, or Ashland County or upon USH 2 in Bayfield County from the Ashland County line through Hart Lake Road if the vehicle or combination of vehicles is traveling between this state and Michigan and does not violate length or weight limitations established, as of April 28, 2004, under Michigan law.

(1) Exception to review by the department of transportation. Notwithstanding section 13.096 (2) of the statutes, the department of transportation shall not prepare a report on this bill under section 13.096 (2) and (3) of the statutes because section 348.27 (9) (a) 1. b., 2011 stats., already allows the same loads to be transported on USH 2 in all or parts of Iron County, Ashland County, and Bayfield County.
