RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

Recent changes within the off-highway vehicle industry have created a situation where the Division of Parks and Recreation feels it is necessary to address the composition of the Utah OHV Advisory Council. The OHV program staff believes it is necessary to add one additional at-large member to the OHV Advisory Council to assist with current OHV issues within the State of Utah. This twelfth member would focus on OHV trends and issues at the time the vacancy is announced. This representative should be considered an at-large member to simplify the current needs and composition of the OHV Advisory Council.

Summary of the rule or change:

Currently, this rule defines the OHV Advisory Council as an eleven-member council, appointed by the Board of Parks and Recreation and representing the varied interests of the OHV community. One member will be from each of the following interests: the Bureau of Land Management; the USDA Forest Service; the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration; snowmobiling; motorcycling; all-terrain vehicle usage; four-wheel drive vehicle usage; off-highway vehicle dealers; off-highway vehicle safety; a youth member and a member-at-large.
