This bill introduces regulations concerning off-road vehicles and the sale of motor fuel, adding a specific definition for "off-road vehicles" to Chapter 94, Section 295A. This category includes motor vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles, off-highway motorcycles, dirt bikes, and utility terrain vehicles, which are intended for recreational use on unimproved terrains and are not authorized for use on public roads. The bill also prohibits retail dealers from selling or directly dispensing motor fuel into these off-road vehicles, including through self-service customer-operated pumps. Additionally, the bill amends Chapter 90B, Section 26C, subsection (d), to include "destruction of the property" as a factor in enforcing legal prohibitions related to activities involving off-road vehicles.
