Bill > HB1009

This bill proposes to modify the existing law regarding golf cart operation on state or county highways by increasing the maximum speed limit of the roadway where golf carts are permitted. Currently, golf carts can only be operated on highways with posted speed limits of 25 miles per hour or less, but the proposed amendment would raise this threshold to 35 miles per hour. The bill maintains the existing provision that golf cart operators must still comply with all other statutory requirements for motor vehicle operation in the state. By raising the speed limit restriction, the bill would effectively expand the areas where golf carts can legally be driven, potentially providing golf cart owners with greater mobility and flexibility in their local transportation options.
