A bill for an act requiring persons to pass a written test and obtain an education certificate prior to operating an all-terrain vehicle, off-road motorcycle, or off-road utility vehicle on certain land, ice, and trails, providing fees, and making penalties applicable.

HF 73 requires all operators aged 12-17 to pass a written test and obtain an education certificate before operating all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-road motorcycles, or off-road utility vehicles (UTVs) on public land, ice, or designated trails in Iowa. The certificate costs $5 and remains valid until revoked, replacing the previous option to demonstrate riding skills. Operators without a certificate face a $70 misdemeanor fine. This bill removes existing exemptions that previously allowed off-road motorcycles and UTVs to skip the education requirement, aligning their rules with ATVs. The certificate is not required during supervised training courses.
