SB 552

Current law prohibits any person from operating an all-terrain vehicle (ATV)

unless the ATV is registered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or is

exempt from registration. Among the ATVs that are exempt from registration are

those that are covered by a valid registration in another state and that are located

in this state for a specified limited period of time.

Generally, a person may not operate an ATV on an ATV trail or other

established ATV corridor that is open to the public unless the ATV is registered for

public use or unless the ATV is exempt from registration. A person who uses an ATV

exclusively for agricultural purposes or exclusively on private property is not

required to register the ATV for public use but must register the ATV for private use.

This bill eliminates the requirement that an ATV that is used exclusively for

agricultural purposes or used exclusively on private property be registered by DNR.
