Summary

The bill adds a new category for high‑mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (humvees) so they can be titled and registered like passenger cars. Owners must modify the vehicle for safety, pass a state highway patrol inspection, and pay the usual registration fees. The change lets humvees be driven on public roads while keeping existing “off‑road use only” rules for other cases.
