Redefine all-terrain vehicle and utility-type vehicle in the Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Act, the Motor Vehicle Registration Act, and the Nebraska Rules of the Road
This bill redefines "all-terrain vehicle" (ATV) and "utility-type vehicle" (UTV) in Nebraska law to clarify size, weight, and design requirements for registration. ATVs must be ≤50 inches wide, ≤1,200 lbs, use 3+ nonhighway tires, and carry only the operator or operator + one passenger. UTVs must be ≤74 inches wide, ≤180 inches long (including bumper), ≤2,000 lbs, and use 4+ nonhighway tires, while explicitly excluding ATVs, golf cars, and low-speed vehicles. The bill also prohibits registration of modified vehicles (with aftermarket parts beyond original specifications) under these categories. It directly affects ATV and UTV owners, particularly those who modify their vehicles, by restricting registration eligibility.
