Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to motor vehicles; to amend section 60-6,356, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to authorize the operation of all- terrain vehicles and utility-type vehicles between the hours of sunset and sunrise if used for snow removal as prescribed; to harmonize provisions; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to modify Nebraska's existing law regarding the operation of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility-type vehicles (UTVs) by allowing them to be operated between sunset and sunrise specifically for snow removal purposes within city, village, or unincorporated village limits. Currently, these vehicles are only permitted to operate between sunrise and sunset, with some exceptions. The bill maintains existing requirements that operators must have a valid Class O operator's license or farm permit, carry liability insurance, and not exceed 30 miles per hour. Additionally, when operating such vehicles, drivers must have their headlights and taillights on and attach a day-glow, triangular safety flag that extends at least five feet above the ground. This change would provide more flexibility for individuals who need to clear snow using ATVs or UTVs during nighttime hours, potentially helping rural and municipal communities more effectively manage snow removal operations during winter months.
