SECTION 2408
Special events
Vehicle & Traffic (VAT) CHAPTER 71, TITLE 11, ARTICLE 48-C
§ 2408. Special events. 1. The commissioner shall adopt and may, from
time to time, amend rules and regulations determining the special events
which shall be subject to permit and designating the equipment and
facilities necessary for safe operation of ATVs and for the safety of
operators, participants, and observers in such special events. Copies of
such regulations shall be furnished by the commissioner to any person
making an application therefor.

2. Whenever a special event is proposed to be held, the person in
charge thereof shall, at least thirty days prior thereto, file an
application with appropriate governmental agencies having jurisdiction
over the site of such event to hold such special event. The application
shall set forth the date and location of the proposed special event and
such other information as the governmental agencies may require, and
such event shall not be conducted without written authorization from
such governmental agencies. Governmental agencies shall either grant or
deny authorization to hold a special event within thirty days after
receipt of an application for authorization. The commissioner shall be
furnished with a copy of all such applications. No permit shall be
required for a closed-circuit special event held entirely on private
property, but appropriate governmental agencies shall be notified of
such event at least thirty days prior thereto.

3. ATVs operated at special events shall be exempted from the
provisions of this article concerning mufflers, lights and tires during
the time of such event, including all pre-race practice at the location
of said event.
