What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish

a program of instruction on snowmobile laws, snowmobile safety, and related

subjects. The program must be conducted by instructors certified by DNR and a

person who satisfactorily completes the program receives a snowmobile safety

certificate from DNR. Current law prohibits a person who is at least 12 years of age

and who is born on or after January 1, 1985, from operating a snowmobile unless he

or she holds a valid snowmobile safety certificate.

This bill prohibits a snowmobile safety program instructor conducting a

snowmobile safety program from allowing a person taking the instructor's program

to operate a snowmobile as part of a field training exercise unless the snowmobile,

in addition to meeting the requirements that apply to snowmobiles under current

law, is in good working order and is equipped with a device that limits the speed of

the snowmobile to 15 miles per hour.
