RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

Since 1971 off-highway vehicles have been required to be registered. In that 40-year period, OHVs have been required to display two stickers. The Division has realized that these stickers are not displayed according to rules. In all instances, stickers shall be mounted in a visible location. In some situations, they come off at car washes, owners will only display one, and, in general, the public doesn't know how to properly display under current Section R651-401-1. Taking these and other situations into account, the OHV program is proposing to go with the display of just one annual sticker. This is a current requirement for the display of the non-resident permit sticker and motor vehicles are required to only display one annual sticker as well.

Summary of the rule or change:

Due to the "two sticker" issues, the Division of Parks and Recreation OHV program is proposing to go with the display of just one annual sticker. This is a current requirement for the display of the non-resident permit sticker and motor vehicles are required to only display one annual sticker as well.
