An act relating to the operation of all-terrain vehicles on class 3 and class 4 town highways
H.788 would allow all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to operate on class 3 and class 4 town highways in Vermont, unless a town's legislative body specifically closes those highways to ATVs. The bill directly affects towns managing these highways and ATV users traveling on them. Key provisions include permitting ATV use on designated highways while preserving local authority to ban ATVs through municipal votes. This changes current restrictions by expanding permitted ATV access on certain roads, subject to town-level decisions.
