A bill for an act relating to operation of all-terrain vehicles or off-road utility vehicles on public hunting areas.

HF 473 allows registered all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and off-road utility vehicles (ORVs) to operate on public hunting areas **only** for transporting a lawfully taken deer carcass out of the area. It requires all operators and passengers to wear blaze orange apparel (like vests or jackets) until the carcass is removed. This change modifies existing rules that generally prohibit ATV/ORV use on public hunting lands, except for this specific purpose. The bill does not alter broader prohibitions on ATV/ORV use elsewhere or change penalties for violations of other rules.
