The House Resolution establishes the Task Force on Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs) in Louisiana to examine the feasibility of implementing safety regulations for UTVs, which can reach speeds of over sixty miles per hour and may be legally operated on public roads. The resolution highlights the significant growth of the UTV market, which surpassed ten billion dollars in 2025, and notes the concerning statistic of seventy-eight UTV-related fatalities reported in 2024. The task force is tasked with studying existing laws and regulations regarding UTV safety and will provide recommendations for legislative proposals.

The task force will consist of key representatives from various state agencies, including the Louisiana State Police, the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association, and the Department of Transportation and Development, among others. Members will elect a chairman during their first meeting, which must occur by August 1, 2026, and will convene bi-monthly thereafter. The resolution stipulates that the task force's meetings will adhere to the Open Meetings Law, and its records will be subject to the Public Records Law. Members will serve without compensation, although they may receive reimbursement for expenses related to their roles. Recommendations from the task force are to be submitted to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works before the 2027 Regular Session.
