What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
