Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person may ride on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or utility terrain vehicle (UTV) on a part of the ATV or UTV that is not designed for use by passengers. A person is also prohibited from operating an ATV or UTV with such a passenger. Under current law, no person may drive any vehicle, including an ATV, on a highway with another person on any portion of the vehicle that is not designed or intended for the use of passengers.

Under this bill, these restrictions do not apply to the operation of an ATV with one passenger if either the operator or passenger is at least 16 years of age.
