According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "the weight limit for utility terrain vehicles".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends sections of the statutes to increase the maximum weight limit for utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) from 3,000 pounds to 3,500 pounds. The change applies to commercially designed and manufactured motor-driven devices that are primarily used off highways and do not meet federal motor vehicle safety standards effective as of July 1, 2012. The revision aims to adjust the classification criteria for UTVs by accommodating heavier vehicles, while still excluding golf carts, low-speed vehicles, dune buggies, mini-trucks, and tracked vehicles from this category.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Mary Felzkowski (Republican-12th District), Representative David Armstrong (Republican-67th District), Representative Robert Brooks (Republican-59th District), Representative Calvin T. Callahan (Republican-35th District), Representative Alex A. Dallman (Republican-39th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Dan Feyen (Republican-20th District), Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District), and Senator Romaine Robert Quinn (Republican-25th District), along 22 other co-sponsors.
Scott Krug has co-authored or authored another 41 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with all of them being adopted.
Krug graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay in 2008 with a BAS and again in 1999 from Mid-State Technical College with an AA.
Krug, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2011 to represent the state's 72nd Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Marlin D. Schneider.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
