Full text of Vermont Vermont Statutes Online § 731 — Legislative intent, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 731. Legislative intent
- (a) The General Assembly finds that a comprehensive training program for motorcycle operators
would enhance operator safety and reduce the number of injuries that occur as a result
of motorcycle crashes. Since the great majority of motorcycle crashes involve inexperienced
operators, a training program focused on inexperienced operators is the primary purpose
of this legislation. The training program established shall be operated pursuant to
nationally recognized safety and training standards and shall be funded from registration
and license fees paid by Vermont motorcycle operators. (b) It is the intent of the General Assembly that revenue from fee increases specified
in 1990 Acts and Resolves No. 286 shall be used for administration of the motorcycle
rider training program and expenses relating to the program, including instructor
training, licensing improvement, alcohol and drug education, public awareness, a driver
improvement program for motorcyclists, technical assistance, program promotion, and
other motorcycle safety programs. Funds may also be used for reimbursement of persons
with course sites. (Added 1989, No. 268 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. June 21, 1990; amended 1997, No. 9, § 3, eff. May 6, 1997; 2019, No. 131 (Adj. Sess.), § 159; 2023, No. 85 (Adj. Sess.), § 277, eff. July 1, 2024.)
