New Mexico Department of Game and Fish |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, DEC. 9, 2013: |
SNOWMOBILERS REMINDED TO REGISTER THEIR MACHINES BEFORE HEADING OUT THIS YEAR As snow continues to fall in much of New Mexico, the Department of Game and Fish is reminding snowmobile operators to observe safety requirements and register their snowmobiles before using them on public lands. The New Mexico Off-Highway Vehicle Act of 2005 and subsequent legislation in 2009 was designed to protect the safety of off-highway vehicle users and ensure responsible use of off-highway vehicles on public lands. Under the OHV Act, registration is required for all snowmobiles before they are used on any public lands in New Mexico. Snowmobiles used exclusively on private land are exempt from registration requirements. Here is what you need to know:
