Talking points:
- SB 249 would force the complete rewrite of OHV regulations that would halt any grants going to county law enforcement, conservation/restoration efforts, and safety programs for a period of at least one year or the grants program might not even exist in any meaningful capacity.
- OHV is an important multi-billion dollar per year economic benefit to the state and local economy
- The OHV Program is a national model of environmentally sound recreation
- The current OHV program was created in a bipartisan manner under the leadership of Senator Steinberg in 2007. The OHV program provides critical funding for law enforcement, search and rescue, conservation, and protection of natural and cultural resources.
Please do this today!
