Bill > H2738

This bill aims to enhance agricultural operations by allowing farmers to operate all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), including those known as quads, quad bikes, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, or quadricycles, on public ways for short distances. The bill specifies that ATVs can be operated without registration on public ways for up to half a mile if used exclusively for agricultural purposes, or between half a mile and 10 miles if the owner maintains liability insurance. The bill also sets safety requirements for ATVs operating on public ways, such as equipping them with a safety flag and flashing red light, and restricting their operation to licensed drivers and daylight hours. Additionally, farmers must notify local police departments of the public ways they will be using for agricultural purposes.
