This bill amends several sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to redefine the terms "all-terrain vehicle" and "utility-type vehicle" within the Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Act, the Motor Vehicle Registration Act, and the Nebraska Rules of the Road. Key changes include the removal of the weight restrictions for both vehicle types, specifically the deletion of the maximum dry weight of twelve hundred pounds for all-terrain vehicles and two thousand pounds for utility-type vehicles. The definitions now focus on the width, length, and tire requirements for these vehicles, while also clarifying that all-terrain vehicles are designed for operator use only, with the option for one passenger.

Additionally, the bill establishes that any all-terrain or utility-type vehicles modified or retrofitted with aftermarket parts that include additional equipment not mandated by specific sections of the law will not be eligible for registration under the Motor Vehicle Registration Act. The original sections defining these vehicles are repealed, and the bill is declared an emergency measure, taking effect immediately upon passage and approval.
