Bill > HB0407

This bill updates Utah's traffic laws with several key provisions focusing on mini-motorcycles and related vehicle definitions. Specifically, the bill creates a new section of law defining mini-motorcycles as motorcycles with a seat less than 24 inches from the ground and establishes comprehensive regulations for their operation. Under the new law, individuals are prohibited from operating a mini-motorcycle on public property or highways unless the vehicle is properly registered for highway use and the operator holds a valid motorcycle license. The bill imposes graduated fines for violations, starting at $50 for a first offense and doubling for subsequent violations. The new regulations require mini-motorcycle operators to comply with the same statutory requirements as motorcycle riders, including registration, licensing, insurance, and law enforcement protocols. Additionally, the bill makes several technical amendments to existing traffic laws, such as updating definitions and clarifying language around vehicle types and operations. The new regulations aim to enhance safety and provide clear legal guidelines for mini-motorcycle use in Utah, with the law set to take effect on May 7, 2025.
