• Report, December 2008

In June 2008, the All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Safety Task Force was created (Chapters 14 & 487, Acts of 2008). The Task Force studied major issues surrounding all-terrain vehicle safety, including: accurate ownership tracking of ATVs in Maryland; appropriate safety equipment; how to educate consumers about ATVs; where to safely use ATVs; training ATV owners; raising public awareness about ATV safety; and any other safety issue concerning ATVs.

The Task Force submitted a combined interim and final report to the Governor and General Assembly in December 2008. Authorization for the Task Force extended through May 31, 2009.
