Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act. Provides that a person convicted of operating a snowmobile required to be registered and numbered under the Act shall be fined $250 for a first offense and $500 for a second or subsequent offense. Raises the new, transfer-renewal, and renewal snowmobile registration fee from $18 to $30 and to $45 for the registration years beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Provides that 50 percent (rather than 33 percent) of those collected fees and trail use sticker fees shall be deposited into the Snowmobile Trail Establishment Fund, a special fund in the State treasury. Provides that snowmobiles that are not registered and numbered and that are not exempt from the registration and numbering requirement are required to display a trail use sticker, and the cost of the sticker is $25. Provides that no person shall operate, register or maintain registration of, and no owner shall permit another person to operate, register or maintain registration of, a snowmobile in this State unless the snowmobile is covered by a liability insurance policy. Provides that a person convicted of violating the mandatory insurance provision is guilty of a petty offense and shall be required to pay a fine in excess of $500, but not more than $1,000.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill and makes the following changes. Provides that a person who is a resident of this State and operates a snowmobile in this State must register and number the snowmobile in this State and a person who is not a resident and operates a snowmobile in this State must either register and number the snowmobile in this State or obtain a trail use sticker. Deletes the minimum and maximum fine language of the introduced bill for a conviction of operating a snowmobile required to be registered and numbered under the Act. Deletes the minimum and maximum fine language for a violation of the mandatory insurance provision of the introduced bill. Provides that the Snowmobile Trail Establishment Fund shall not be subject to sweeps, administrative charges or chargebacks, or any other fiscal or budgetary maneuver that would in any way result in the transfer of any funds from the Snowmobile Trail Establishment Fund to any other fund of the State. Makes other changes. Effective April 1, 2011.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that the mandatory insurance provision of the introduced bill, as amended, does not apply to a person operating a snowmobile on their own property that is not a posted snowmobile trail, and property other than a posted snowmobile trail in which the owner of the property has given his or her written or oral consent to the person to operate a snowmobile on the property. Provides that a person convicted of violating the mandatory insurance provision shall be required to pay a fine in excess of $500, but not more than $1,000. Deletes language providing that the Snowmobile Trail Establishment Fund shall not be subject to sweeps or other similar budgetary maneuvers, as provided in the introduced bill, as amended.
