[QUOTE="Flyboy500, post: 762165, member: 51981"] [b]Ohio no fee no worry??? HB286[/b] In ohio if there is no gate fee charged then property owner is covered by House Bill 286! Even private property owners regardless if permission is granted. Article on HB286 is located on Northeast Ohio Trailriders web page. It's worth checking out! Sometimes good things happen for our sport. House Bill 286/ House Bill 106- landowner hold-harmless bill Department of Defense thanks NETRA for cleaning up Shenango- thank you letter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 4519- see Ohio Revised Code chapter 4519 for online details Registration All ORVs (off-road vehicles- ATVs, dirtbikes, snowmobiles) must be properly registered with the BMV. Registration costs $7.25 and is good for 3 years. The alphanumberic sticker must be affixed to your machine. All ORV owners will need to present proof of ownership when registering their vehicle with the BMV. Operation Regulations An ORV may be used: to cross a highway other than a limited access highway or freeway on county and township highways whenever approved by those having jurisdictional authority over them off and alongside streets or highways from the place of unloading the vehicle to the place at which it is intended and authorized to be used on the berm or shoulder of any highway, other than a limited access highway, or freeway when the terrain is such that the vehicle can be used safely on the berm or shoulder of a county or township road when traveling from one area of operation to another An ORV may NOT be used: on any limited access highway or freeway or the right-of-way on any private property without special permission of owner or in any nursery or planting area on any state-controlled land or waters except those which have been posted as permitting ORVs on track or right-of-way of any operating railroad when carrying a loaded or un-cased firearm, bow or other hunting implement to chase, pursue, capture or kill any animal or wildlife from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise, unless displaying a lighted headlight and taillight as required under equipment regulations Licensing and Restrictions Persons under 16 years of age must be supervised by a licensed motor vehicle operator of at least 18 years old. Any operator involved in a an accident resulting in personal injury, death, or property damage in excess of $100 to report it to the state highway patrol with 48 hours. Protective Gear No specific mention is made, although good sense predicates the use of helmet, goggles, and boots as a minimum. Insurance No mention is made as to whether liability insurance is required although they request you sign a document stating that you in fact DO have insurance similar to when licensing an on-road vehicle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ohio House Bill 286 / Senate Bill 106 Update- 01/15/03 Passed House and Senate committees, and the Governor signed the bill on 01/08/03. Senate Bill 106 will officially go into effect in 90 days, or April 8th, 2003. Background- Introduced by Representative L. George Distel (D-Ashtabula), HB286 specifies that operation of a snowmobile or all-purpose vehicles is a recreational activity subject to landowner’s immunity from liability for recreational users' injuries, otherwise called a landowner hold-harmless bill. The intention of this bill was to amend Ohio Revised Code section 1533.18 which deals with Hunting and Fishing, but also covers recreational sports. The House bill was merged into Senate Bill 106 so as to get it approved before the end of 2002. Both the House and Senate had passed the bill before the end of the year, and it was sent to the governor's office for approval on Dec 31st. After it's signed, it'll take 90 days to become effective. This bill is a major step in finding property to ride on. Up to this point, landowners have been reluctant to allow ATVers, dirtbikers, and snowmobilers access to their property for fear of being sued in the event someone should get injured. SB106 provides the immunity from liability those landowners needed before allowing someone to ride on their land. Although not official proof of legislation, when this bill does take effect (in April), a printed copy of the legislation available online Ohio Revised Code section 1533.18 may be enough to satisfy most landowners.
