What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill raises from 2,000 pounds to 3,000 pounds the maximum weight

allowable for a motor driven device to be classified as a utility terrain vehicle (UTV).

Under current law, a UTV is defined as a commercially designed and

manufactured motor driven device, other than a golf cart, low-speed vehicle, dune

buggy, mini-truck, or tracked vehicle, that is designed to be used primarily off of a

highway and that was manufactured to meet certain size and equipment

specifications. Current law specifications limit UTVs to a weight, without fluids, of

not more than 2,000 pounds.
