Responsible Off-Road Vehicle Enforcement and Response Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Responsible Off-Road Vehicle Enforcement and Response Act - Amends the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to impose a fine of up to the greater of $10,000 or an amount equal to the cost to the United States of any improvement, protection, or rehabilitation work on public lands rendered necessary for damages to such lands resulting from violation of any regulation or other requirement regarding use of a vehicle over such lands. Makes such a violation not resulting in death a Class B misdemeanor.

Directs that any moneys received by the United States from such a fine be used to: (1) cover administrative, legal, and related expenses; (2) cover the costs of any improvement, protection, or rehabilitation work on public lands; and (3) increase public awareness of regulations and other requirements regarding recreational use of vehicles on public lands.

Amends Federal law to set forth similar provisions regarding vehicle violations in National Forest lands.
