What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill establishes an absolute sobriety requirement for the purpose of

operating a snowmobile for any person under the age of 21. Under current law, no

one may operate an all-terrain vehicle, utility terrain vehicle, off-highway

motorcycle, boat, or snowmobile (recreational vehicle) with a prohibited alcohol

concentration. Under most circumstances, a prohibited alcohol concentration is 0.08.

For a person who has not attained the age of 21, current law requires absolute

sobriety for the purpose of operating any recreational vehicle except for snowmobiles.

For the purpose of operating a snowmobile, absolute sobriety is required for a person

who has not attained the age of 19. This bill increases this age so that the absolute

sobriety requirement applies to a person under the age of 21 operating any

recreational vehicle.
