This bill establishes regulations for the permitting, inspection, and operation of off-road vehicle parks specifically in Cherokee County, Alabama. It mandates that, starting October 1, 2025, no individual may operate such a park without a valid permit from the county commission. The bill outlines the requirements for obtaining a permit, which include submitting a detailed map of the park, a written contract for emergency services, and various other documentation related to the park's operation. The county commission is also authorized to charge a permit fee not exceeding $50 and may establish reasonable operating hours for the parks. Additionally, the bill specifies that a permit is not required for locations using off-road vehicles solely for agricultural purposes.

The bill introduces civil fines for violations, including a fine of up to $5,000 for operating a park without a valid permit and up to $500 for operating outside established hours. It allows law enforcement officers to issue citations for violations and provides a process for individuals to contest fines. Furthermore, the county commission is granted the authority to seek injunctions against unauthorized park operations. The bill also emphasizes adherence to best management practices as defined by the Alabama Forestry Commission and allows for inspections to ensure compliance. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
