I was researching the Squatted truck law today thinking it had already past both houses and was sitting on the Governor's desk waiting to be signed.

I was wrong S.908 has gone into conference committee due to non-concurrence.

Is there still time for this to become law in this session or it dead?

Reason I ask has nothing to do with squatted trucks.  Although I hope it does pass. I am very interested in an amendment adding 56-2-140. It deals with creating an on road use licensing of any 4 wheel sit in UTV. I had not heard any talk of this.

Scroll down to till you see 56-2-140:

I believe it ended on 5/13.
Edit, not sure what that means for the bill though. Hopefully someone with more legal knowledge will be able to answer.

Ok I got an email reply from House member Richard Yow.



Basically the Senate initiated the bill and past it so it was then send to House where they added an amendment to it and past their version. The Senate voted to not agree to the House amendment so it was sent to conference to work out the differences between the 2 versions. Cross your fingers it is still breathing. I believe we have some scheduled time between now and November. I haven't been able to track down the differences between the two.

Per the news the squatted truck bill was on the governor's desk waiting to be signed.

Yeah that was the news I heard too. He had a massive signing day the other day and I went checking to see if he signed it.
Seems at last minute the Senate didn't agree with the amendment the House added. So now it is in conference to shape the bill into a form that both will agree on.

I hate squatted trucks with a passion but I am more interesting in the provision for on road licensing SxS UTVs. There are limitations such as liability insurance, licensed driver, no passenger under the age of 8, headlights, turn and brake signals, seat belts. Use only on roads with speeds of 55mph or less. Engine must be more then 450 CCs.

I can't believe that this didn't even get a blip on local news media. If this passes there are going to be uninformed people questioning what is going on. Granted it will take a year to go into effect after signing to give DMV to organize licensing and informing LEO of the change. Maybe then it will hit the news.

I honestly dont see the big deal. People clog up traffic with their gulf carts around here. Atleast sxs’s can keep up. Cant wait to see the decked out sxs’s on 35 plus tires cruising
