HF 4995 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Off-highway vehicle safety and conservation program and uses of off-highway vehicle accounts modified.

This bill updates Minnesota laws to clarify how state funds for off-highway motorcycles, off-road vehicles, and all-terrain vehicles can be used. It allows money from specific accounts to be granted to organizations that help maintain trails, enforce safety rules, and educate the public on responsible vehicle operation. The legislation also requires these organizations to train participants on identifying and reporting invasive species while working on public lands. Additionally, the bill ensures that all funding distributions for trail construction and maintenance align with the state's comprehensive outdoor recreation plan.
