Advocates press council to eliminate out-of-state reciprocity; counsel cites administrative-rule inconsistency
Summary
A representative from Utah OHV Advocates urged eliminating registration reciprocity for out-of-state street-legal OHVs after reports of users registering in other states; counsel said state statute requires decals and the inconsistency appears to be an administrative-rule issue.
Brett Stewart of Utah OHV Advocates asked the council to support a policy change to end registration reciprocity for out-of-state street-legal OHVs, citing events in Moab where users allegedly registered in South Dakota or Montana to avoid contributing to Utah's OHV fund. "He cited an event in Moab where out-of-state users actively registered vehicles in South Dakota or Montana specifically to bypass contributing to the Utah OHV restricted fund account," minutes record.
Legal counsel Nicole Hannah responded that state code requires decals for these vehicles and suggested the inconsistency is likely an administrative-rule issue rather than a statutory gap. The council did not adopt a formal policy change at the meeting but noted the issue for future rule review and potential administrative clarification.
