Bill > HB0057

This bill makes several amendments to Utah's motor vehicle laws, primarily focusing on standardizing vehicle weight definitions and usage, clarifying exemptions for certain vehicles, and correcting a sales tax earmark. Key changes include replacing "gross laden weight" with "gross vehicle weight rating" or "gross combined weight rating" in various sections to align with federal standards, which refers to the maximum weight a vehicle can carry including its own weight, passengers, cargo, and fuel. It also exempts street-legal all-terrain vehicles from certain registration and equipment requirements, such as having an odometer if not originally equipped. Additionally, the bill clarifies the disposition of certain fees, dedicating specific amounts from motorcycle registration fees to the Motorcycle Rider Education Program and adjusting how sales tax revenue is allocated. The bill also updates definitions for various vehicle types and introduces a new definition for "shipping weight," which is the weight of a vehicle as built by the manufacturer without optional equipment.
