Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, relating only to single unit dump trucks and with no limitation as to the material being hauled, the secretary shall issue annual special permits for a fee of eight hundred dollars per truck that prohibit both gross weight and axle weight penalties for the operation of dump trucks on state-maintained highways when the total excess weight is twelve percent or less of the truck's maximum permissible gross weight as provided by law. The permit shall not authorize any truck described in this Part to exceed load posted weight limits on any bridge.
