What’s in it

AI summary Counties currently have the power to charge fees for people to drive registered ATVs or UTVs on certain local roads. This new law would stop counties from charging those fees. It makes the rules for counties the same as the rules already in place for cities.1

Read the official explanation

Under current law, a registered all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or off-road utility vehicle (UTV) may be operated on specified types of secondary roads (e.g., unpaved roads, paved roads over certain routes, and other paved roads if authorized by the county). However, a county may prohibit the operation of ATVs and UTVs on a secondary road or segment thereof under certain circumstances (e.g., when closed to traffic, designated as a detour route, or by ordinance for limited periods). This bill prohibits a county from charging a fee to operate a registered ATV or UTV on secondary roads within the county. A similar provision exists under current law prohibiting a city from charging a fee to operate a registered ATV or UTV within the city.
