***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to amend 23.33 (1) (ng) 1. a. and 23.33 (1) (ng) 2. a. of the statutes;
relating to: the weight limit for utility terrain vehicles.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill raises from 3,000 pounds to 3,500 pounds the maximum weight
allowable for a motor driven device to be classified as a utility terrain vehicle (UTV).
Under current law, a UTV is defined as a commercially designed and
manufactured motor driven device, other than a golf cart, low-speed vehicle, dune
buggy, mini-truck, or tracked vehicle, that is designed to be used primarily off of a
highway and that was manufactured to meet certain size and equipment
specifications. Current law specifications limit UTVs to a weight, without fluids, of
not more than 3,000 pounds.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 23.33 (1) (ng) 1. a. of the statutes is amended to read:
23.33 (1) (ng) 1. a. A weight, without fluids, of 3,000 3,500 pounds or less.
SECTION 2. 23.33 (1) (ng) 2. a. of the statutes is amended to read:
23.33 (1) (ng) 2. a. It does not meet federal motor vehicle safety standards in
effect on July 1, 2012; is not a golf cart, low-speed vehicle, dune buggy, mini-truck,
