Where it stands
House: CONCURRED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT
This bill reflects the changes in the utility terrain vehicle (UTV) market, as newer models, particularly those equipped with HVAC systems, often exceed the existing 2,000 pound limit. Updating the weight standard will promote compliance, support responsible recreational use and opens the door for cleaner, quieter electric UTVs. The amendment set forth a weight that was acceptable to stakeholders. Vote 15-1.
