This 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. The new legal language specifies that counties cannot impose such fees, aligning county regulations with existing provisions that prevent cities from charging fees for the operation of these vehicles within city limits.

Under current law, ATVs and UTVs are allowed on certain types of secondary roads, but counties retain the authority to restrict their operation under specific circumstances. This bill aims to enhance accessibility for ATV and UTV users by eliminating any potential financial barriers imposed by counties, thereby promoting recreational use of these vehicles on secondary roads.
