If you ride an ATV or UTV, Letcher County Sheriff Billy Jones wants to make sure you
are aware of a new state law that starts June 27th.
Anyone who plans to ride them on public roads will need to register and have them inspected and pay an inspection fee of $25 if you do it at the Sheriff’s Office or $45 if they come to your home.
This is only for riding ATV’s and UTV ‘s on public roads; if you only plan to ride on trails and private property, you do not need to register.
State Representative Mitch Whitaker says in a post on Facebook the goal is to have safe vehicles and licensed drivers on the roads.
