The members of the California Off-Road Vehicle Association strongly oppose SB 249 introduced by Senator Allen, a bill seeking to reauthorize the Off-Highway Motorized Vehicle Recreation Division of the Department of Parks and Recreation. This bill proposes
to take away sound management from OHMVR and state vehicular recreation areas and replace it with:
- A never-ending supply of unnecessary reports,
- Irrelevant duplicate agency consultations
- Benefits to adjacent landowners
The OHMVR program was enacted in 1971, and has since successfully managed off-road recreation in state vehicular recreation areas and given children and families safe places to recreate. SB 249
would produce no environmental improvements; only take away from recreationists, rural communities that host off-road recreation, and law enforcement efforts.
Those that oppose the continuation of off-road recreation in California have pushed hard to make SB 249 sound like something that would benefit environmental efforts, however all the bill would
achieve is the elimination of off-road recreation in California at a cost of $11 million to the state.

Dear
Senator Allen
The
members of the California Off-Road Vehicle
Association strongly oppose SB 249 introduced by
Senator Allen, a bill seeking to reauthorize the
Off-Highway Motorized Vehicle Recreation Division
of the Department of Parks and Recreation. This
bill proposes to take away sound management from
OHMVR and state vehicular recreation areas and
replace it with:
- A
never-ending supply of unnecessary reports,
- Irrelevant
duplicate agency consultations
- Benefits
to adjacent landowners
The
OHMVR program was enacted in 1971, and has since
successfully managed off-road recreation in state
vehicular recreation areas and given children and
families safe places to recreate. SB 249 would
produce no environmental improvements; only take
away from recreationists, rural communities that
host off-road recreation, and law enforcement
efforts.
Those
that oppose the continuation of off-road
recreation in California have pushed hard to make
SB 249 sound like something that would benefit
environmental efforts, however all the bill would
achieve is the elimination of off-road recreation
in California at a cost of $11 million to the
state.
