Bill > AB2453

This bill amends existing California law that regulates the operation of recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) on public lands, specifically addressing a rule that requires passengers to be able to grasp a handhold with their seatbelt and shoulder belt or safety harness fastened. The key provision of this bill is to exempt peace officers, which are law enforcement officials as defined in the Penal Code, and first responders, such as firefighters, from this passenger restraint requirement when they are operating an ROV as part of their official duties. This exemption is intended to allow these professionals greater flexibility and effectiveness when using ROVs in emergency or law enforcement situations.
