EXPLANATION
8
The
inclusion
of
this

agreement
with

substance
by

of
the
general
assembly.
10
This
bill
relates
to

certain
vehicles.
12
Current
law
prohibits
a
person
from
operating
or
riding
a
13
snowmobile
or
all-terrain
vehicle
with
a
loaded
firearm
in
the
14
person’s
possession
unless
the
person
is
operating
or
riding
15
the
snowmobile
or
all-terrain
vehicle
on
land
that
is
owned,
16
possessed,
or
rented
by
the
person,
and
the
person’s
conduct
is
17
otherwise
lawful.
Additionally,
a
person
may
operate
or

18
a
snowmobile
or

pistol
or
19
revolver
on
land
that

except
that
a
nonambulatory
person
may
23
discharge
a
firearm
from
a

vehicle
24
while
lawfully
hunting
if
the
person
is
not
operating
or
riding
25
a
moving
snowmobile
or
all-terrain
vehicle.
The
bill
strikes

generally
28
prohibits
a
