All-terrain vehicle definition modified.
HF 1327 amends Minnesota's definition of "all-terrain vehicle" (ATV) by increasing the maximum allowable dry weight from 2,000 pounds to 3,000 pounds. The bill clarifies that ATVs must have three to six low-pressure or non-pneumatic tires and a width of 65 inches or less, while explicitly excluding electric-assisted bicycles, golf carts, mini-trucks, dune buggies, and vehicles designed for specific commercial uses like farming or logging. This change directly affects ATV operators, manufacturers, and law enforcement by expanding the weight threshold for vehicles classified as ATVs under state law. The policy adjustment updates regulatory definitions without altering enforcement requirements or creating new restrictions.
