What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits the possession of open containers of alcohol and the consumption of alcohol by any person in or on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or utility terrain vehicle (UTV) when the vehicle is upon a highway, ATV trail, or other established ATV corridor that is open to the public. The bill creates an exception from this prohibition for a person in possession of an empty bottle or receptacle that was acquired as refuse.
Under current law, a person may not operate an ATV or UTV while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance to a degree that he or she cannot operate the vehicle. Current law also prohibits the operation of an ATV or UTV by a person who has an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.
