Summary

Makes state law control motor vehicle use on roads inside National Park System units, including off-highway vehicles. It applies each State's definition of "off-highway vehicle" and defines "road" as the main‑traveled surface of a roadway open to motor vehicles that is owned, controlled, or administered by the Service. Violations of the applicable State law are prohibited within the System unit. The provision is added as a new statutory citation in the chapter.

State driving rules inside parks

If enacted, the bill would make the law of the State where a System unit sits govern motor vehicle use on roads inside that unit. "Road" would mean the main-traveled surface of a roadway open to motor vehicles that the Service owns, controls, or administers. "Off-highway vehicle" would be defined by the State's law where the System unit is located. Violating a State-law rule made applicable in a System unit would be a prohibited act there. The text does not set fines, fees, or an effective date.
