Refer Senate Bill 15-023 to the Committee of the WPASS



11:18 AM -- SB 15-023

Representative Vigil, prime sponsor, came to the table to present Senate Bill 15-023. Under current law, an off-highway vehicle may cross a roadway, street, or highway if it does so in accordance with the statutory guidelines established for snowmobile roadway crossings (Section 33-14-112, C.R.S.). This bill provides clarification by importing the snowmobile crossing guidelines into the off-highway vehicle statutes, and further clarifies that a driver may cross a state highway when in compliance with these guidelines, except within the boundaries of a municipality. The bill provides clarification to off-highway vehicle operators when crossing roadways including state highways, but it does not affect revenue, expenditures, or workload for any state agency or unit of government.

Representative Vigil responded to a question on the applicability of the bill to municipalities.
