LR 1858
Item 1

 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

 
CONCEPT DRAFT

 
SUMMARY

 
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.

 
This bill proposes to reduce the unauthorized use of licensed
snowmobile trails by all-terrain vehicles and other unauthorized
users. Current law prohibits the operation of a 4-wheel drive
vehicle, dune buggy, all-terrain vehicle, motorcycle or any other
motor vehicle, other than a snowmobile, on snowmobile trails
unless the use is authorized by the landowner. This bill would
establish such a violation as a crime of criminal trespass or
recreational vehicle trespass. This bill would also require that
such trails be specifically marked, designating what type of use
is allowed by the landowner.
