SB 2265 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Recreational off-highway vehicles; authorize operation on county roads subject to certain requirements and cap tag fees for.

SB 2265 would have allowed all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) to operate on county rural, gravel, or paved roads in Mississippi, subject to specific rules. Key provisions included requiring vehicle licensing and tags (capped at $100), prohibiting operation on highways with speed limits over 40 mph (except for short crossings), and mandating safety measures like helmets for riders under 16. The bill also exempted these vehicles from windshield wiper requirements but required headlights/taillights during road crossings. However, the bill "Died In Committee" on February 3, 2026, and never became law, so these changes were never implemented.
