The committee began a discussion of HB 18-1103 without the sponsor present. Under current law, local governments may enact an ordinance or resolution requiring off-highway vehicle (OHV) operators to have a driver license or carry liability insurance within an entity's jurisdiction. This bill clarifies that local governments may also require OHV operators to use seatbelts, a child restraint system, eye protection, or a helmet (for riders 18 years and younger). A local government may also limit the number of occupants on an OHV to the maximum number of occupants the vehicle is designed to hold.
