AI Summary
- Broadens the definition of "all-terrain vehicle" in Georgia law to include motorized vehicles originally manufactured for off-highway use with three or more nonhighway tires, 80 inches or less in width, and a dry weight of 2,500 pounds or less, removing the prior requirement for a straddled seat and handlebars
- Increases the maximum width for Class II all-terrain vehicles from 65 inches to 80 inches and the maximum dry weight from 2,000 pounds to 2,500 pounds
- Standardizes the definition of "all-terrain vehicle" across multiple code sections by replacing standalone definitions in the law enforcement vehicle marking statute (§40-8-91.1) and the ad valorem tax exemption statute (§48-5-504.40) with cross-references to the single revised definition in §40-1-1
- Ensures that the ad valorem tax exemption for watercraft and all-terrain vehicles held in dealer inventory for resale applies consistently under the updated, broader ATV definition
