Traffic Safety - As enacted, exempts utility terrain vehicles being operated for agricultural purposes from the restriction that such vehicles are authorized to operate only on certain state highways and county roads with a speed limit of 45 miles per hour or less. - Amends TCA Section 55-8-185.

SB 2596 exempts utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) used for agricultural purposes from a 45 mph speed limit restriction on certain state highways and county roads. The bill amends Tennessee law to clarify that this exemption applies only when UTVs are operated for farming activities, while maintaining all other existing restrictions on UTV operation (such as where they may be driven). This change directly affects farmers and agricultural businesses that use UTVs for work on public roads. The policy update removes a specific speed limit barrier for farm-related UTV use without altering other operational rules.
