The proposed bill would update current statutes regarding off-highway vehicles by changing the unladen weight limit from "two thousand" to "three thousand five hundred pounds or less" in two instances. Additionally, it would clarify the definition of vehicles used solely for agricultural purposes to include not only the preparation or harvesting of cotton, alfalfa, and grains but also specialty crops such as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, and horticulture and nursery crops.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the application process for obtaining a resident or nonresident off-highway vehicle user indicia by changing the validity period from "from the date of issuance" to "after the date of issuance." It also specifies that the Department of Transportation shall prescribe the design and placement of the indicia by rule, ensuring a more structured approach to the issuance process.
