Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources, in consultation with
the Department of Transportation, is required to administer a pilot program to
investigate the effects of using lightweight utility vehicles (LUVs) on trails and
roadways that are used by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to evaluate whether it is
feasible and appropriate to expand the allowable use of LUVs. The counties and
municipalities that are eligible to participate in the pilot program may designate
ATV routes and trails within their respective jurisdictions that may be used by
operators of LUVs and upon which LUV use may be prohibited.
This bill specifies that an eligible county or municipality may designate any
ATV route or trail located in the respective county or municipality as one that may
be used by LUV operators or as one upon which LUV use may be prohibited,
regardless of whether the route or trail is within the respective county or
municipality's jurisdiction.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
