CO SB067

Operating motor vehicles on federal public land, trails, or roads without authorization is a misdemeanor punishable by a $100 fine, or $200 fine if within a federal wilderness area.

Removing, defacing, destroying, or installing signs on federal public land that affect motor vehicle travel authorization is a misdemeanor punishable by a $150 fine.

Peace officers cannot enforce motor vehicle restrictions on federal land until the controlling land management agency publicly identifies authorized routes through maps, route markers, or signs.

Exemptions from penalties apply to peace officers performing official duties, persons acting under their direction, and those with legal authorization or permission from land management agencies for activities including emergency access, ski operations, oil and gas operations, and livestock operations.

Violations related to spark arresters on off-highway vehicles carry a $150 fine instead of the standard $50 fine for equipment violations.
