Dear fellow duner,
We have have been asked by the dunes law enforcement agencies to remind you of a
law that has been on the books since 1988. The law deals with children under the
age of 18 operating an ATV in California.
The law reads as follows:
"38503. No person under the age of 18 years, on and after January 1, 1990, shall
operate an all-terrain vehicle on public lands of this state unless the person
satisfies one of the following conditions:
(a) The person is taking a prescribed safety training course under the direct
supervision of a certified all-terrain vehicle safety instructor.
(b) The person is under the direct supervision of an adult who has in their
possession an appropriate safety certificate issued by this state, or issued
under the authority of another state.
(c) The person has in possession an appropriate safety certificate issued by
this state or issued under the authority of another state.
Added Ch. 881, Stats. 1987. Effective January 1, 1988."
If you have taken the course offered by the ATV Safety Institute, please make
sure you bring your certificate with you (or at least a copy of it). If you no
longer have your certificate, contact them and they can tell you how you can
obtain a duplicate. If you have never taken the course, we urge you to consider
enrolling so you can be compliant with the CA law.
If you have purchased an ATV new from a dealer you can take the course at no
charge, otherwise there is a fee for the course. Contact the ASI for more
information or to schedule yourself or your children for a course at 800 887
2887.
Best regards,
The ASA
