Yeah, the CCC's been busy with legal update stuff..
First is the ORV Plan update/process, second is a legislation update. Separate issues.
The DNR is updating the ORV Plan and a study of the ORV program is being conducted byæDr Charles Nelson, (University of Michigan) to help determine future needs of the program. One component of the plan update and study is to gather information about the ORV Trail System. Three public meetings have been set to present general information about previous planning efforts and explain the process the Department is using to update the plan. The structure of the meetings will allow for public input into the planning process.

--------- next item ------
Senate Bill 1348
This bill, introduced by Senator Schauer, and has been referred to the Committee on Economic, Small Business, and Regulatory Reform.ææ
The bill, designed to require licensing for motor racing tracks which may be known and or cited as the "motorcycle racing regulation act" was introduced on 9/8/04.
Our peliminary concerns are that it requires "until rules are promulagated" to define and stabndards for licensing and operation that the standards from the AMA and or another Nationally recoginized organization and that the Director of the Department of Labor and Economic Growth can by rule amend / supplement any suchæstandards.æWho knows what we may end up with without the input of race track owners and operators.
"Person" as defined under the bill means an individual or legal entity. This description may very well lead to regulating private non-commercial riding places such as your back yard or private land holdings.
Some pretty stiff penalties are proposed up to and including 93 days and $500 or both for operating with out a license.
We (CCC) are on this bill and will keep you posted.
