California Assembly Bill 1613 - ADULT OHV Operator Permit

[Dune-Track-N]

as stated AZ already has this, I have to take it to get my out of state sticker. Annoying but super easy just like the BLM fire permit, they are all common sense questions. If you can't pass the test you should not be riding yet people do every day.....

OHV Decal: Safe & Ethical Riding in Arizona​

Arizona residents: To purchase a decal, you are required to take the free course “OHV Decal: Safe & Ethical Riding in Arizona.”

Non-residents: To purchase a decal, you will need to sign up for a free portal account and take the free course “OHV Decal: Safe & Ethical Riding in Arizona.”

I wonder if this will be partially funded from the off-road funds that were “loaned” to the general fund?

Not exactly. We just have to watch a (free) OHV video before we can renew our OHV registration. There isn’t anything to carry with us and it’s not specific to the operator.

This is true but you also need an Arizona State Land Department Recreational Permit Parking Pass anywhere OHV it’s $20 a year for family.

Again, kinda but not exactly. There are a handful of OHV parks which you’re correct about. However there is open desert in abundance where OHV’s operate freely.

It’s needed if you go on State Trust land.

@Rockwood was right, a few revisions have been made as of MAR 2026

The bill would make the operator cards subject to renewal after 5 years and require the division to establish procedures for the renewal of operator cards, as specified.

The bill would prohibit a peace officer from stopping an off-highway motor vehicle for the sole purpose of determining whether a violation of this provision has occurred.

They still plan to implement it as of JAN 2029.

I did this all when my kids were young and they got their lifetime certificates. I still have them in my safe.

They are pushing this for boats now too.

When we moved to Havasu, we took a boating safety class put on by the local Coast Guard auxiliary that was free. I always see these as opportunities that one day, it will be required and then I'd have to pay. Get it while it's free!

AZ already has it. I just hope the rental peeps also have to do the test. The Boating exam excludes renters, which is lame.

To me, it would make sense for Renter's ESPECIALLY!!!!

 

[Crusty]

Will it be free? Will it be an online course we pretend to watch (Camp fire permit)?

It will be a reason to be pulled over and checked out by LEO/BLM for no other reason.... correct me if I'm wrong?

I was wrong here LOL
