Introduced Text

Defines utility terrain vehicles and sets rules for their registration and operation in South Carolina.

This bill amends the South Carolina Code to define "Utility Terrain Vehicle" and establish regulations for their registration and operation. It specifies that UTVs must be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles, with a biennial fee of ten dollars. It also sets requirements for UTV operators, including age, licensing, and safety gear. The bill exempts UTVs from property taxes and certain fees but subjects them to sales tax. It also outlines restrictions on UTV operation, such as speed limits and passenger age.
