An Act To Clarify the Definition of "Personal Sports Mobile" for Purposes of the Laws Governing Personal Sports Mobile Dealerships

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 10 MRSA §1242, sub-§15,  as amended by PL 2003, c. 414, Pt. B, §19 and affected by c. 614, §9, is further amended to read:

15. Personal sports mobile.  "Personal sports mobile" means any snowmobile as defined in Title 12, section 13001, subsection 25; any all-terrain vehicle as defined in Title 12, section 13001, subsection 3 , including a side-by-side; any motorcycle as defined in Title 29-A, section 101, subsection 38; and any personal watercraft as defined in Title 12, section 13001, subsection 23. "Personal sports mobile" does not include a motor vehicle as defined in section 1171, subsection 11.

Sec. 2. 10 MRSA §1242, sub-§18  is enacted to read:

18.  Side-by-side.   "Side-by-side" means a recreational off-road vehicle that features side-by-side seating for at least 2 persons, a steering wheel and a roll bar.

SUMMARY

The purpose of this bill is to eliminate any confusion that may exist under the Personal Sports Mobile Business Practices Act regarding whether the definition of "personal sports mobile," which includes all-terrain vehicles, also includes so-called side-by-sides for purposes of allowing side-by-sides to be sold by personal sports mobile dealers. This bill amends the definition of "personal sports mobile" to specifically include a side-by-side, which is a recreational off-road vehicle that features side-by-side seating for at least 2 persons, a steering wheel and a roll bar.
