Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to natural resources; modifying definition of all-terrain vehicle; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 84.92, subdivision 8.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the legal definition of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) in Minnesota by making several key changes. Specifically, the bill removes language about "low pressure" or "non-pneumatic" tires, increases the maximum dry weight from 2,000 pounds to 3,000 pounds, while maintaining the existing requirement that ATVs have between three and six tires and a total width of 65 inches or less. The definition continues to include both class 1 and class 2 all-terrain vehicles and explicitly excludes certain 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 modifications will likely expand the range of vehicles that can be legally classified as all-terrain vehicles in Minnesota, potentially providing more flexibility for vehicle owners and industries that rely on such equipment.
