In addition to increasing the snowmobile registration fee to $25 in order to pay for trail maintanence costs, the current Legislation is considering increasing the fee for all offroad vehicles. Senator Ralph Okerlund says the additional fees that have been added to the bill would be used to fund emergency responses. The bill would increase registration fees for ATV’s by $3.

The Legislation is also working on a bill that says the Federal Government either needs to make Public lands available for state use or pay taxes the land. Okerlund says the tax would help fund education in Utah, which pays the highest per capita in the nation for education, yet is the lowest in the country in per pupil funding.
