Allows utility vehicles to drive on all roadways except for numbered highways

HB 1559 allows utility vehicles (like golf carts or small work vehicles) to operate on most public roads, except numbered highways, unless specific exceptions apply. It permits government-owned vehicles, agricultural operations, handicapped persons on secondary roads (with lighting), and vehicles with city/county permits (for $15 fees). Operators must have a standard driver's license (but not a motorcycle exam), maintain insurance, follow traffic laws, and observe a 45 mph speed limit on highways. The bill also prohibits nighttime operation without proper lighting, carrying passengers (except multi-seat agricultural vehicles), and unsafe driving.
