Off-road recreational vehicles-safety and insurance.
This bill requires off-road recreational vehicles (ORVs) to carry at least $25,000 in liability insurance and be equipped with mirrors and horns when operated on public roads, streets, or highways in Wyoming. It directly affects ORV owners and operators who use public roadways, clarifying that ORVs may only be driven on designated trails approved by the Department of State Parks. The law amends existing vehicle safety and insurance rules to extend these requirements to ORVs, effective July 1, 2023.
