S.F. 2381 DIVISION II —— MISCELLANEOUS STATUTORY CHANGES. Current 1 law allows a person to operate an all-terrain vehicle on a 2 highway if the operation is incidental to the use of the 3 vehicle for agricultural purposes. The division specifies that 4 such incidental use includes stopping to obtain fuel for the 5 all-terrain vehicle or food or a nonalcoholic beverage for the 6 operator. 7 The division requires that all persons under 18 years of 8 age who are being transported in a motor vehicle, other than 9 a school bus or motorcycle, be secured by an approved child 10 restraint system or a seat belt regardless of seating position. 11 The division provides an exemption from child restraint 12 requirements in situations where a child occupying a back seat 13 is not restrained because all safety belts in the vehicle are 14 in use or cannot be used because a child restraint system is 15 occupying the seating position for which a belt is provided. 16 Pursuant to existing law, a motor vehicle operator who 17 violates child restraint requirements commits a simple 18 misdemeanor subject to a scheduled fine of $25. However, such 19 offenses are not considered for purposes of determining a 20 habitual offender of motor vehicle laws. 21 -8- LSB 5095SV (2) 83 dea/tm 8/ 8
