Bill > HB0057

This bill makes several amendments to Utah's motor vehicle laws, primarily focusing on standardizing definitions and updating registration requirements. Key changes include redefining "gross laden weight" to "gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR) throughout the statutes, which is the maximum weight a vehicle can carry as reported by the manufacturer. It also introduces "shipping weight" as the manufacturer's reported weight without optional equipment, which will be used for certain trailer classifications. The bill exempts street-legal all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) from certain registration requirements and clarifies their operational rules. Additionally, it corrects a sales tax earmark related to motorcycles and makes various technical and cleanup changes to existing laws, such as updating references to federal regulations and clarifying definitions for different vehicle types and licensing requirements.
