The bill, H.B. No. 4767, amends the Transportation Code regarding the operation of off-highway vehicles on public land or beaches in Texas. The heading of Section 551A.031 is revised to remove the requirement for a safety certificate, and the section now specifies that individuals may operate off-highway vehicles on public land or beaches, provided that the land is designated for such use and that the operation complies with relevant regulations.
Additionally, several provisions within Chapter 551A of the Transportation Code are repealed, including definitions and specific operational guidelines that are no longer deemed necessary. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
