Bill > HB1343

This bill modifies the definition of "vehicle" in the Board of Vehicles Act by making two key changes: First, it numerically reorganizes the existing definition of vehicle to clarify that vehicles are devices moved or drawn on highways, with specific exclusions for certain types of equipment like construction, agricultural, or road maintenance devices, human or animal-powered devices, rail-based devices, motorized pedalcycles, and mobility vehicles. Second, for specific sections of the law (sections 307-318 and 326), the bill clarifies that the term "vehicle" does not include trailers, regardless of their gross vehicle weight, unless they are recreational vehicles. The modification appears to provide more precise language about what constitutes a vehicle for regulatory purposes, potentially affecting how different types of transportation equipment are classified and regulated. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
