Senate Bill 339 proposes an amendment to the current weight limit for utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) in Wisconsin. The bill seeks to increase the maximum allowable weight for a UTV from 3,000 pounds to 3,500 pounds. This change is intended to accommodate a broader range of motor-driven devices that can be classified as UTVs, which are designed primarily for off-highway use and must meet specific size and equipment specifications.

The bill specifically amends two sections of the statutes: 23.33 (1) (ng) 1. a. and 23.33 (1) (ng) 2. a. In these amendments, the previous weight limit of 3,000 pounds is deleted and replaced with the new limit of 3,500 pounds. This adjustment reflects a recognition of the evolving design and capabilities of UTVs, allowing for greater flexibility in their classification and use.
