                                BY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

  2    RELATING TO GROOMED SNOWMOBILE TRAILS; AMENDING SECTION 67-7112,  IDAHO  CODE,
  3        TO  EXCLUDE  CERTAIN  ALL  TERRAIN  VEHICLES  FROM SNOWMOBILE REGISTRATION
  4        REQUIREMENTS.
                                                                        
  5    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  6        SECTION 1.  That Section 67-7112, Idaho Code, be, and the same  is  hereby
  7    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
  8        67-7112.  GROOMED  SNOWMOBILE TRAILS. Any all terrain vehicle operating on
  9    groomed snowmobile trails during  the  winter  snowmobiling  season  when  the
 10    trails are groomed shall be registered as a snowmobile under the provisions of
 11    section  67-7103,  Idaho  Code.  Provided  however,  any  all  terrain vehicle
 12    required to be registered under any other provision of Idaho law, and in  com-
 13    pliance  with  those  registration  requirements,  shall not be subject to the
 14    snowmobile registration requirements of this section. Counties shall have  the
 15    option  to allow all terrain vehicles, if registered, to use snowmobile trails
 16    in the county.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                
                            RS 12584
                                
The purpose of this legislation is to require that All Terrain Vehicles
(ATVs) not be registered in the State as snowmobiles. The current law
is unfair to owners of all terrain vehicles because it requires that
any ATV operating on a groomed snowmobile trail must be registered as a
snowmobile in addition to the Off Highway Vehicle registration.
Therefore, an amendment is proposed to Idaho Code 67-1112, which will
add to it the following sentence, "Provided, however, any All Terrain
Vehicle required to be registered under any other provision of Idaho
law, and in compliance with those registration requirements, shall not
be subject to the snowmobile registration requirements of this
section."


                          FISCAL IMPACT
                                
All Terrain Vehicles are currently double-registered. This would
require only one registration, plus grooming fee, as applicable under
current law.
