Farm News: Light Utility Bill SignedcommentsPosted: 03.11.2010 If you're dependent on light utility vehicles like "mules", "rangers" or "gators" to get your job done on a daily basis - then you'll be happy to know the governor has signed a bill to keep that tool in place. State Representative Amy Sue Vruwink (D-Milladore) chair of the Assembly Committee on Agriculture issued the following statement after Governor Jim Doyle signed Assembly Bill 574 into law at the State Capitol. “I authored this legislation so folks in our agricultural industry can have a safe and affordable alternative when doing routine chores. LUV’s can be used to haul hay bales, inspect and repair irrigation systems, check fence lines, along with a variety of other uses for production agriculture,” said Vruwink.
Assembly Bill 574 would allow light utility vehicles; also known by their trade names of Kubota RTV’s, John Deere Gators, Rangers, Mules, and others to be operated on roadways for limited-purpose operations for agriculture use. These vehicles are currently restricted from being used on roadways and highways for any operation
“We need to do all we can to make it easier for our hard working farmers in production agriculture to flourish and this legislation will allow them to do everyday tasks with ease,” stated Vruwink.
