SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 53
(By Senator Snyder)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the
regulation of all-terrain vehicles in West Virginia.
Whereas, The regulation of all-terrain vehicles in West
Virginia is an increasing concern for the citizens of West
Virginia; and
Whereas, The Legislature has attempted to address these
concerns during the current regular session of the Legislature, but
has not been able to come to a consensus on how these all-terrain
vehicles should be properly regulated in light of increased
incidences of injuries and fatalities resulting from the operation
of all-terrain vehicles; and
Whereas, There is a pressing need for the reasonable and
sensible regulation of all-terrain vehicles; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study the regulation of all-terrain vehicles in West
Virginia; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2004, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
