Bill > S2970

This bill authorizes the use of off-highway vehicles (OHVs) in specific areas of Capitol Reef National Park in Utah by establishing that state law will govern motor vehicle use on designated roads within the park. The bill defines several key terms, including "covered road," which encompasses 12 specific roads within the park's boundaries such as Burr Trail Road, Highway 24, and Notom Bullfrog Road. An "off-highway vehicle" is defined according to Utah state law, which typically includes vehicles like all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes, and recreational utility vehicles designed for off-road use. By specifying that Utah state law will apply to motor vehicle use on these covered roads, the bill effectively allows OHVs to legally operate on these routes within the national park, potentially changing previous restrictions on such vehicle use in this protected area.
