This bill isn’t the only of it’s kind, it would allow golf carts to be driven on some public streets and roads. There are about 11 bills like HB 1653 but this in the only one that would apply to Clinton roads. It was authored by Speaker Gunn and would mean golf cart drivers might no longer be restricted to the walkways of a golf course.
House Bill 1653

Such authorization may be accompanied by conditions not inconsistent with this act and may be revoked, in whole or in part, by the governing authorities at any time. (2) With the exception of the area of the city designated as the Olde Towne Historic District, golf carts may not be operated in the nonresidential areas of the City of Clinton.
