SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Utah House committee on Thursday unanimously passed a bill to repeal certain equipment requirements for low-speed vehicles.
The legislation now advances to the full House for consideration.
House Bill 238 would let low-speed vehicles go without a speedometer, odometer and braking for each wheel.
Low-speed vehicles are any smaller, electric-powered carts that can travel between 20 and 25 mph.
Utah law already prohibits them from traveling on highways with speed limits higher than 35 mph.
Rep. Johnny Anderson, a Republican from Taylorsville, is sponsoring the bill.
Anderson says Utah and Louisiana are the only states that require speedometers, odometers and brakes on all four wheels.
