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 stipulates that any all-terrain or utility-type vehicles that have been modified or retrofitted with aftermarket parts that are not required 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 The original sections defining these vehicles are repealed, and the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
