Relates to allowing snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles to be registered as farm vehicles
S 6791 allows snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) owners to register these vehicles as farm vehicles for use on public highways. To qualify, owners must apply to the state motor vehicle commissioner, pay a $1 fee, and confirm the vehicle will be used exclusively for agricultural purposes. Approved vehicles receive special license plates and a registration certificate specifying permitted highway operation. This change modifies existing law to treat these registered vehicles as farm vehicles (not standard motor vehicles), while unregistered snowmobiles remain restricted from public roads.
