Kentucky’s first legal ‘special purpose vehicle’ registered in Laurel County

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. (FOX 56) — Laurel County officials took to social media on Friday to celebrate a historic occasion after the passing of a new state law.

Sheriff John Root posted on Facebook just after 11 a.m. on Friday, June 27, that his friend was the first state resident to legally register his special purpose vehicle (SPV) after going through the inspection process with the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) and filing the proper paperwork with the county clerk.

“This legislation is expected to boost the economy in counties with events or trail riding, hopefully benefiting local restaurants, stores, and motels,” Sheriff Root wrote.

County officials noted that the law does not apply to tractors, four-wheelers, or off-road vehicles used for agricultural purposes.
