    Enacts GS 20-53.6, allowing an owner of an all-terrain vehicle, modified utility vehicle, or a utility vehicle to apply to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for a certificate of title. Details application form requirements. Requires payment of the $52 fee statutorily set for certificate of title applications.

    Makes conforming changes to GS 20-54, which requires the DMV to refuse to register or issue a certificate of title for a utility vehicle, to provide for the DMV to issue a certificate of title pursuant to new GS 20-53.6. Further directs that the DMV cannot transfer registration of an all-terrain or utility vehicle. 

    Amends GS 20-87(12), which sets a $36 registration fee for low-speed vehicles, mini-trucks, and modified utility vehicles, to add an additional $25 for modified utility vehicles. 

    Amends GS 20-121.1 to eliminate the limitation applicable to modified utility vehicles only, which prohibits them from being operated on any street or highway having four or more travel lanes unless the posted speed limit is 35 mph or less. Maintains authority to operate modified utility vehicles on streets or highways with the restriction that operation be limited where the posted speed limit is 55 mph or less. 

    Effective October 1, 2022.
