Bill > LB371

This bill changes the provisions relating to the requirements for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility-type vehicles (UTVs) in Nebraska. The key changes include: 1. Allowing ATVs and UTVs to be operated on public roads, including controlled-access highways with more than two marked traffic lanes, as long as the operator has a valid Class O driver's license and follows safety requirements like having working headlights, taillights, and brakes. 2. Allowing minors aged 12-18 to operate ATVs and UTVs on public roads if they are accompanied by an adult over 21 with a valid Class O license. 3. Removing the previous restrictions on the hours of operation and speed limits for ATVs and UTVs used for agricultural purposes. 4. Allowing cities, villages, and counties to regulate the operation of ATVs and UTVs within their jurisdictions. 5. Exempting ATVs and UTVs participating in competitive events from certain operating requirements at the discretion of the Director of Motor Vehicles. The bill also makes technical changes to the definitions of ATVs and UTVs in Nebraska law.
