What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person who is at least 12 years of age and who is born on or after January 1, 1985, may not operate a snowmobile unless he or she holds a snowmobile safety certificate. A snowmobile safety certificate certifies that the person satisfactorily completed a program administered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in the safe use of snowmobiles. Instruction under the program is conducted by instructors certified by DNR. Current law provides that for each person receiving instruction who is under 16 years of age, the program must include six hours of classroom instruction. Current law also allows the instructor to provide up to two additional hours of instruction on a snowmobile.
This bill eliminates the requirement that under the snowmobile safety program administered by DNR, persons who are under 16 years of age must receive a minimum number of hours of snowmobile safety instruction in a classroom.
