Senate Bill 339 proposes to amend the current weight limit for utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) in Wisconsin, increasing the maximum allowable weight from 3,000 pounds to 3,500 pounds. This change is aimed at expanding the classification of UTVs to include heavier models that meet specific design and manufacturing criteria, while still being primarily intended for off-highway use.

The bill specifically modifies two sections of the statutes: it deletes the weight limit of 3,000 pounds and inserts a new limit of 3,500 pounds in both relevant sections. This adjustment reflects a recognition of the evolving design of UTVs and aims to accommodate a broader range of vehicles within this category, thereby potentially enhancing recreational and utility options for users in Wisconsin.
