What’s in it
AI summary People driving all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on highways would no longer be allowed to go 35 miles per hour. However, farmers can still drive their ATVs at 35 miles per hour or slower between sunrise and sunset if they are using them for farm work. These specific farm uses would allow the driver to skip certain registration, licensing, and equipment rules.1
Read the official explanation
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.
