AI Summary

This bill modifies various statutes related to all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility-type vehicles (UTVs) in Nebraska, with the goal of providing more comprehensive regulation and expanded operational capabilities. Key provisions include: defining ATVs and UTVs more precisely as motor vehicles designed for off-road use, allowing registered ATVs and UTVs to be operated on certain highways with some restrictions (such as not being permitted on interstate highways, expressways, or freeways), and creating a framework for county and municipal authorities to regulate their use. The bill establishes a $10 registration fee for both ATVs and UTVs, updates licensing requirements to include these vehicles in various operational contexts, and modifies tax and sales tax provisions to account for their registration and sale. Additionally, the bill standardizes definitions across multiple sections of Nebraska law to ensure consistency in how these vehicles are classified and regulated. The changes will become operative on January 1, 2026, giving state and local authorities time to prepare for the new regulations.
