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 dry weight restrictions for both vehicle types, which previously specified a maximum weight of twelve hundred pounds for all-terrain vehicles and two thousand pounds for utility-type vehicles. The definitions now focus on the width, tire requirements, and passenger capacity of the vehicles, with all-terrain vehicles being limited to operator use only or one passenger, and utility-type vehicles being defined by their dimensions and tire count.

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 The original sections being amended are repealed, and the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
