AUTOCYCLES (Section 304.005)

This act modifies the definition of "autocycle" to include partially or completely enclosed vehicles with a non-straddle-type seating area.

This act removes statutory requirements for certain safety features, and instead requires that the vehicle meet applicable National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requirements or federal motorcycle safety standards.

This provision is identical to a provision in CCS/HCS/SB 225 (2017), and is similar to SB 379 (2017), to a provision in the Perfected HB 824 (2017), to a provision in the Perfected HCS/HB 576 (2017), and to a provision in SCS/HB 256 (2017).

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY ON STATE HIGHWAYS (Section 304.170)

This act provides that agricultural machinery and implements may be operated on state highways at night if such vehicles are equipped with proper lighting.

This provision is identical to HCS/HB 1224 (2017), and to provisions in CCS/SB 8 (2017), CCS/SB 222 (2017), HCS/HB 275 (2017).
