The bill’s sponsor argues some off-highway vehicles are safer than motorcycles.
The off-highway vehicles would have to reach a minimum of 35-miles-per-hour, be registered and insured.
Opponents have concerns for safety because it would allow a vehicle not designed for highway use to be on the highway.
The bill now heads to the Senate.
