Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, monies collected from the registration of all-terrain
vehicles (ATVs) and utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) are deposited in the conservation
fund. In addition, the estimated gas tax payment, which is calculated on the basis
of the number of registered ATVs and UTVs, is transferred from the transportation
fund to the conservation fund. From the conservation fund, DNR is appropriated
monies to conduct ATV and UTV projects, to provide aid to federal agencies and local
units of government to to conduct ATV and UTV projects, and to provide aid to
nonprofit organizations for specified ATV projects.
Under current law, monies collected from ATV registration and from the
estimated gas tax payment for ATVs are credited to appropriations distinct from
those for the monies collected from UTV registration and from the estimated gas tax
payment for UTVs. Those monies are subsequently appropriated specifically for ATV
or UTV projects. This bill combines numerous appropriations so that the collected

ATV and UTVs monies are not separated and can be used for both ATV and UTV
projects.
Under current law, DNR may provide aid to nonprofit organizations for ATV
projects involving the production of maps and digital information applications,
communications equipment, and the placement of safety information signs. The bill
expands this authority to include aid for UTV projects.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
