What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an off-road vehicle council in the Department of Natural

Resources (DNR), consisting of seven members appointed by the governor for

three-year terms. The bill requires that each member of the council represent the

interests of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or utility terrain vehicle (UTV) user's group

and that each member be knowledgeable about outdoor recreation issues and about

trails used by ATV and UTV operators.

Under this bill, the off-road vehicle council must provide advice and make

recommendations to DNR, the Department of Transportation, the governor, and the

legislature on matters relating to ATV trails and routes and must make

recommendations to DNR concerning requests for state funding for certain ATV and

UTV projects.
