• Adds recreational off-highway vehicles to the list of non-highway vehicles regulated under Section 11-1426.1, alongside all-terrain vehicles, golf carts, neighborhood vehicles, and off-highway motorcycles.

• Permits all-terrain vehicles and recreational off-highway vehicles to operate on county and township roadways for farming operations to and from home, farm buildings, and adjacent farmland, with exemptions from certain equipment and insurance requirements.

• Allows non-highway vehicles to cross state highways, municipal streets, county highways, and road district highways at approximately 90-degree angles when coming to a complete stop and yielding to traffic, with divided highway crossings only at intersections.
