Bill > SF958

This bill modifies the legal definition of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in Minnesota by making two key changes. First, it removes the language specifying "low pressure or non-pneumatic tires," which means ATVs can now have a broader range of tire types. Second, the bill increases the maximum dry weight of an ATV from 2,000 pounds to 3,000 pounds, which allows for larger and potentially more robust vehicles to be classified as ATVs. The bill maintains other existing definition parameters, such as having between three and six tires and a total width of 65 inches or less. The definition continues to exclude specific types of vehicles like electric-assisted bicycles, golf carts, mini-trucks, dune buggies, go-carts, and vehicles specifically designed for lawn maintenance, agriculture, logging, or mining. These changes could potentially expand the range of vehicles that can be legally classified and used as all-terrain vehicles in Minnesota.
