SF1128

This legislative bill, S.F. No. 1128, proposed by the Minnesota Senate, aims to update the rules for operating all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on public roads in the state. It specifies where ATVs can be driven and the conditions needed for their operation on different types of roads such as county highways and state-aid highways. The bill lists certain restrictions, such as times when ATVs cannot be operated and exceptions where they can be used for agricultural purposes or by public utilities for work purposes. It also allows local authorities to make their own ordinances about ATV use on public roads in their areas, with specific guidelines for smaller towns and cities. The bill is designed to balance ATV accessibility with safety and environmental concerns.
