This legislation clarifies the definition of a personal transportation vehicle by merging motorized carts, golf cars, and golf carts into one definition. It also provides minimum requirements for who can operate a PTV, along with minimum safety requirements to be installed on the PTV for operation in the evening.

This legislation authorizes local governments, at their option, to adopt an ordinance allowing for the operation of PTVs on certain roadways and designated pathways subject to certain requirements established by the local government. It gives local governments the option to adopt a transportation plan to address minimum requirements for operating a PTV on the roadways, as well as construction and use of designated pathways.

This legislation requires local governments to spend an amount equal to that of the local sales tax collected on motor fuel for the purposes of maintaining an adequate system of public roads and bridges. Failure to do so will result in the local government no longer being authorized to levy the local sales tax on motor fuel.
