Dear Representative___________

I urge you to support SB 1020 for the following reasons;

Opening SOME M roads for access to gas, food, lodging and area attractions, an economic benefit to local communities.

Two free annual ORV riding days, again, for economic benefit to Michigan tourism.

Raising the DNR event permit requirement from 20 to 75 machines, same reason, tourism.

Greater liability protection for Grant Sponsors, (volunteer trail maintainers) this very same basic language has been in snowmobile statue for decades, simply transferred to ORV statue.

My most sincere Thanks for your consideration and support.

Done! emails sent

This is so important to many of us in the U.P. to have access to the small towns and businesses. If ORV's could get to towns like snowmobiles do these towns would have most of the year with tourism support!

38 - 0 has never happened on an ORV Bill ever so this was very surprising, well now it moves on to the next step "the House" I have my fingers crossed

I hope this bill will let us ride on the pavement and not just the dirt shoulder.
