Relating to electronic registration renewal of off-road utility vehicles

Under current law, the owner of an off-road utility vehicle must register the vehicle if it is used on public land, public ice, or a designated riding trail. An owner must file an application for registration with the department of natural resources (DNR) through the county recorder in the county where the owner resides, or in the case of a nonresident owner, in the county where the off-road utility vehicle will primarily be used, in the manner established by the natural resource commission (commission). Under current law, a county recorder or a license agent designated by the DNR director may issue all-terrain vehicle registration renewals electronically pursuant to rules adopted by the commission. This bill adds the ability for a county recorder or a license agent to issue off-road utility vehicle registration renewals electronically.29.3(1) commits a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $70.
