The bill, H.B. No. 4767, amends the Transportation Code regarding the operation of off-highway vehicles on public land or beaches in Texas. It updates the heading of Section 551A.031 to remove references to safety certificates and clarifies that off-highway vehicles may only be operated on public off-highway vehicle land or beaches that are open to vehicular traffic. The bill specifies that such operations must comply with the relevant chapters of the Transportation Code and the Parks and Wildlife Code.

Additionally, the bill repeals several provisions within Chapter 551A, including definitions and regulations that are no longer deemed necessary. This streamlining of the law aims to simplify the regulations surrounding off-highway vehicle operation while ensuring safety and compliance with existing laws. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
