SB 311 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

DMV rule relating to special purpose vehicles

SB 311 authorizes the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles to implement a specific rule (91 CSR 25) governing special purpose vehicles, such as golf carts or off-road vehicles. This rule, proposed in June 2025, will establish standards for registration, safety, and operation of these vehicles. The bill formally approves the existing proposed rule, allowing the DMV to enforce it without creating new regulations. This procedural step enables the state to regulate special purpose vehicles under defined guidelines.
