AI Summary
This bill amends the Utah Exemptions Act, specifically Section 78B-5-506, to adjust the value limits for certain exempt property. The bill modifies the exemption for a single motor vehicle, increasing its value limit from $3,000 to $10,000, but also introduces a new provision allowing for an exemption of a motor vehicle of any value if it has been specifically equipped or modified to accommodate a disability that limits or impairs the ability to walk for the individual or their dependent, as defined by federal regulations. The bill also clarifies that certain recreational vehicles are not included in the motor vehicle exemption unless regularly used for daily transportation, and it specifies an effective date of May 6, 2026.
