What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person may operate an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or utility

terrain vehicle (UTV) on the roadway portion of a highway only in certain situations,

including to cross a bridge. However, current law prohibits a person operating an

ATV or UTV from crossing a bridge on a roadway that is officially closed to ATV or

UTV traffic. This bill allows a person to operate an ATV or UTV on the roadway or

shoulder of a highway for the purpose of crossing a bridge even if the roadway is

officially closed to ATV or UTV traffic if the bridge is within the territorial boundaries

of a county that has enacted an ordinance allowing the operation of an ATV or UTV

on that roadway and shoulder for the purpose of crossing the bridge and within the

territorial boundaries of a city, village, or town that has enacted a similar ordinance

applicable to that bridge.
