House Bill 2267 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-8-185, specifically regarding the operation of utility terrain vehicles (UTVs). The bill designates the existing language in subsection (c)(1) as subdivision (c)(1)(A) and introduces a new subdivision (B). This new provision states that the speed limit restriction of 45 miles per hour for state highways and county roads does not apply to UTVs being operated for agricultural purposes, while still maintaining the existing restrictions outlined in subdivisions (c)(1)(A)(i)-(iv).

The bill aims to facilitate the use of UTVs in agricultural settings by exempting them from certain speed limits, thereby enhancing operational efficiency for farmers and agricultural workers. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
