Provisions modification for operating all-terrain vehicles on public roads
This bill modifies Minnesota's rules for operating all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on public roads. It allows class 1 and class 2 ATVs on the right shoulder or extreme right side of county/state highways (for accessing businesses or trails) and permits agricultural ATVs on road shoulders during specific times. The bill also restricts ATV use in agricultural zones from April 1 to August 1 (except for work-related travel) and bans nighttime operation on most roads. These changes directly affect ATV riders, local governments setting ordinances, and agricultural users operating on public roadways.
