The bill amends Section 321I.10 of the Iowa Code to prohibit counties from charging a fee for the operation of registered all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or off-road utility vehicles (UTVs) on secondary roads within their jurisdiction. Specifically, it adds a new paragraph stating that "a county shall not charge a fee to operate a registered all-terrain vehicle or off-road utility vehicle on secondary roads within the county." This aligns with existing provisions that prevent cities from imposing similar fees for the operation of ATVs and UTVs.

Currently, registered ATVs and UTVs are allowed to operate on certain types of secondary roads, but counties have the authority to restrict their operation under specific circumstances. The introduction of this bill aims to eliminate any financial barriers for ATV and UTV users in counties, ensuring that they can operate these vehicles on secondary roads without incurring additional costs.
