A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4525 AS INTRODUCED 3-27-01
Part 821 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, concerning snowmobiles, requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to design a comprehensive snowmobile safety education and training program and encourage persons 17 years of age or over to take the course. House Bill 4525 would amend the act to add that, except for the conditions specified in Section 82120, concerning age restrictions on operators, each person born after January 1, 1985, would have to successfully complete a safety education and training program and obtain a safety certificate in order to operate a snowmobile in the state. Moreover, under the bill, a person born after that date who failed to have a safety certificate on his or her person would be subject to a fine of up to $50.
