A bill to authorize the use of off-highway vehicles in certain areas of the Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
This bill authorizes the use of off-highway vehicles (OHVs) on specific designated roads within Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. It defines "covered roads" as portions of 12 named park roads and states that Utah's existing laws governing motor vehicles (including OHVs) will apply to these routes. The bill directly affects OHV users traveling on those designated park roads by allowing their use under Utah state law, without creating new federal regulations for the park.
