Oregon, mandatory safety training passed

Post by MXOldtimer »

Don't forget this year when you take your kids riding.


Safety Training – This proposal would require that all operators of Class I and Class III ATV’s complete a certified training to operate safely on public lands.

Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 101 making several changes to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 821 and 390. These are the results of those changes:

MANDATORY SAFETY TRAINING – This segment of the bill passed with absolutely no opposition including unanimous support from the manufacturers and the distributors. The bill passed focuses on rider training for both youth and adult riders. The measure includes a phased-in process over the course of the next 6 years to pass a training course and obtain an operators permit before riding on public lands. Below is a breakdown of the phase-in dates:

· Starting January 1, 2008, all youth under 16 must always be supervised by an adult over 18.
· Starting January 1, 2009, all youth under 16 must always be supervised by an adult over 18 and have an operators permit.
· Starting January 1, 2010, all persons under age 31 must have an operators permit.
· Starting January 1, 2011, all persons under age 41 must have an operators permit.
· Starting January 1, 2012, all persons under age 51 must have an operators permit.
· Starting January 1, 2013, all persons under age 61 must have an operators permit.
· Starting January 1, 2014, all persons are required to have an operators permit.
