What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a farm tractor may be operated on a highway without being

registered with the Department of Transportation (DOT) if the farm tractor is used

exclusively in agricultural operations or used exclusively to provide power to drive

other machinery or to transport from job to job machinery driven by a tractor. Under

this bill, a farm tractor may also be operated on a highway without being registered

with DOT if the tractor is used for special occasions such as display or parade

purposes.
