The bill amends K.S.A. 8-15,106 to establish new regulations for the operation of micro utility trucks on public highways and streets in Kansas. It removes previous restrictions that prohibited these vehicles from operating on interstate, federal, or state highways, as well as on public highways within city limits unless authorized. Instead, the bill allows micro utility trucks to operate on state or public highways with a posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour or less, provided they are properly registered and comply with specific equipment requirements.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that micro utility trucks are permitted to cross federal highways, while repealing the previous version of K.S.A. 8-15,106. The new provisions aim to create a more flexible framework for the use of micro utility trucks, enhancing their accessibility while ensuring safety and compliance with existing traffic regulations. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
