Bill > HB0561

This bill amends several sections of Utah law related to vehicles, primarily focusing on the use of motorcycles and mini-motorcycles by minors and the funding of the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Fund. Key provisions include adding a fee for certain motorcycle violations to the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Fund, defining "adult" as an individual 18 years or older and "child" as an individual younger than 18, and establishing that parents or guardians cannot authorize a child to violate traffic laws related to motorcycles. If a child violates these laws, they are guilty of an infraction, and law enforcement officers can impound the motorcycle, with the parent or guardian being notified. This impoundment is subject to an administrative fee of $50, which will be deposited into the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Fund. The bill also clarifies the definition of "motorcycle" to include mini-motorcycles and makes other technical amendments to various vehicle-related definitions and statutes, with most provisions taking effect on July 1, 2026.
