Bill > HB2262

This bill modifies existing Kansas law regarding the operation of micro utility trucks (small utility vehicles) on highways and streets. Currently, micro utility trucks were prohibited from operating on interstate and federal highways, and city streets without local authorization. The new law allows micro utility trucks to operate on state and public highways under three specific conditions: (1) the vehicle must be properly registered, (2) it must comply with all equipment requirements outlined in Kansas statutes, and (3) it can only be operated on highways with a posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour or less. The bill maintains the existing provision that allows micro utility trucks to cross federal highways. The legislation aims to provide clearer guidelines for the operation of these vehicles, expanding their potential use while still maintaining safety restrictions. The bill will take effect upon publication in the state statute book, and it repeals the previous version of the statute, replacing it with these new, more permissive regulations.
