What it does

This bill strikes the 35-mile-per-hour (MPH) speed limit for a person operating an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on a highway. However, if an ATV is operated at speeds of 35 MPH or less between sunrise and sunset, and the operation is incidental to the vehicle’s use for agricultural purposes, the ATV is still considered an implement of husbandry and exempt from registration, licensing, and certain vehicle equipment requirements. Under Code chapter 321, an ATV is a motor vehicle and subject to the applicable speed limit on the highway.
