S.B. No. 2439, introduced by Zaffirini, amends the Transportation Code regarding the operation of off-highway vehicles on public land or beaches. The bill modifies 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. Additionally, it specifies that such operation must comply with the relevant chapters of the Transportation and Parks and Wildlife Codes.

The bill also repeals several provisions within Chapter 551A, including definitions and regulations that are no longer deemed necessary. These repealed sections include definitions related to off-highway vehicles, certain operational requirements, and other regulatory measures. The changes aim to streamline the regulations governing off-highway vehicle operation and are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
