Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 2598

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Changes the definition of an all-terrain vehicle to any motorized off-highway device designed to travel primarily off-highway, 50 inches or less in width, having a manufacturer's dry weight of 1,500 pounds or less (rather than 900 pounds or less), traveling on 3 or more non-highway tires (rather than low-pressure tires), designed with a seat or saddle for operator use, and handlebars or steering wheel for steering control, except equipment such as lawnmowers. Defines "recreational off-road vehicle" as any motorized off-highway device designed to travel primarily off-highway, 60 inches or less in width, having a manufacturer's dry weight of 1,500 pounds or less, traveling on 4 or more non-highway tires, designed with a non-straddle seat and a steering wheel for steering control, except equipment such as lawnmowers. Provides that all provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code that apply to an all-terrain vehicle shall apply the same to a recreational off-highway vehicle. Effective immediately.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill and makes the following changes. Provides that a recreational off-highway vehicle is 64 inches or less in width (rather than 60 inches or less) and has a manufacturer's dry weight of 2,000 pounds or less (rather than 1,500 pounds or less).
