CaliforniaOff-highway vehicle: emergency response situation.
What it does
Under existing law, generally a motor vehicle may not be driven upon a highway unless it is registered. However, off-highway motor vehicles issued an identification plate or device may cross highways under specified conditions, including, among others, a peace officer in an emergency response situation.
More detail
This bill would similarly authorize first responders, as defined, to operate or drive an off-highway vehicle upon a highway to provide emergency response services or while performing official departmental duties.
