SF 333: Relating to golf carts operated on city streets

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Under current law, incorporated areas are authorized to allow the operation of golf carts on city streets by persons possessing a valid driver’s license. However, a golf cart is prohibited from being operated on a city street which is a primary road extension through the city but is allowed to cross such a primary road extension. Golf carts are not subject to the vehicle registration requirements under Code chapter 321 (motor vehicles and law of the road). This bill prohibits local authorities from prohibiting the operation of golf carts on city streets by persons possessing a valid driver’s license.
