Bill > S895

This bill amends existing law to require a license from the Department of Law and Public Safety for operating an off-road training or recreation facility, specifically for motocross bikes and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The department will establish rules for the location and operation of these facilities, and crucially, will not issue a license if the proposed facility is located within five miles of an area zoned for residential purposes, meaning areas designated for housing. This aims to prevent potential noise and traffic disturbances from such recreational activities impacting nearby residents.
