AI Summary
This bill allows all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) to operate on county rural, gravel, or paved roads, provided they comply with licensing, tagging, and other motor vehicle regulations, with the exception of requiring windshield wipers. However, these vehicles will not be permitted to tow anything, operate on interstate highways, or use roads with speed limits exceeding 40 miles per hour, except for brief crossings under specific safety conditions. The bill also caps the license tag fees for ATVs and ROVs at $100.00 and makes conforming amendments to various sections of Mississippi law to reflect these changes.
