| Victory
for Off-Road Riders in California |
| On Friday, February
2, 2007, the off-highway vehicle (OHV) community won a victory over improper efforts to curb off-road recreation in California.
The judge stated the California Off-Highway Motorized Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR)
Commission may not implement its "Desert Riparian Policy" unless
and until
it develops formal rules defining the policy's terms and scope. As
currently drafted, the Policy would prohibit use of OHMVR grant funds for projects
that allow OHV use in desert riparian areas. The Commission's policy
states that "Desert Riparian Areas" are any bed, bank or channel. If
strictly interpreted this policy could have crippled funding in many areas where
California families recreate on OHV's.
