Amends TCA Section 55-8-185.

Tennessee SB2596 amends TCA Section 55-8-185 to exempt utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) used for agricultural purposes from the current restriction that limits their operation to state highways and county roads with a speed limit of 45 miles per hour or less. This change specifically affects farmers and agricultural operators who utilize UTVs for their work. The key provision allows these vehicles greater flexibility in their operation on public roads beyond the existing speed limit restrictions.
