An Act To Allow The Use Of Certain All-Terrain Vehicles On Snowmobile Trails
LD 1565 allows ATV owners to operate their vehicles on Maine snowmobile trails by adding a $25 special sticker to their registration. This applies only to ATVs equipped with snow tracks, not standard tire-equipped ATVs. The bill requires the sticker to be displayed on both the front and rear of the ATV next to its registration number. It directly affects ATV owners who want to use snowmobile trails without switching between different vehicle types. The change modifies existing rules by creating a clear registration pathway for track-equipped ATVs on trails funded by the Snowmobile Trail Fund.
