To expand a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-HB-4323">2008 law</a> that allows local governments in the northern part of the state to allow off road vehicles to be driven on either the pavement or the shoulder of some or all streets and roads. the bill would extend the local option statewide, and prohibit counties from closing roads to ORVs unless ORV use has “created a signifigant threat to public safety.” The bill would also allow ORV use on state “trunkline” roads (highways) if they connect trails with other trails, or with various services, tourist destinations, etc.; and would prohibit local governments from charging a fee for ORV use of roads.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation
