Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Nebraska Rules of the Road; to amend section 60-6,356, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to provide for the operation of all-terrain vehicles and utility-type vehicles between sunset and sunrise as prescribed; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill amends Nebraska law to allow all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility-type vehicles (UTVs) to be operated between sunset and sunrise under specific conditions, in addition to the existing rules. Previously, nighttime operation was generally restricted to snow removal within city or village limits. The updated law permits ATVs and UTVs to operate at night within cities, villages, or unincorporated villages if they are equipped with a white headlight that meets specific illumination standards and a red taillight visible from 500 feet away. These vehicles must also have a valid operator's license, liability insurance, and not exceed 30 miles per hour. The bill also retains the requirement for headlights and taillights to be on and for a safety flag to be attached to the rear of the vehicle when operating on highways. The original section of law that is being changed is repealed.
