Utah has passed a new law HB180 beginning Jan 1, 2023 requiring all operators of OHV vehicle operators to take a mandatory online OHV Education Course before operating on public land.
However, at this time it doesn’t appear that street-legal adventure motorcycles apply to this new law:
I have a street-legal motorcycle. Do I need a Utah non-resident OHV permit?
If your street-legal motorcycle is registered and plated in your home state, then you do not need to purchase a Utah non-resident OHV permit. If a machine is plated and follows all of Utah’s street-legal requirements, then it is no longer considered an off-highway vehicle and is technically considered a “passenger vehicle” or in this case, a street-legal motorcycle.
If you will be operating non-street legal vehicles such as a dirtbike, atv, or side by side, or riding on designated trails that aren’t public roads, you will need to abide by this new law.
For more information check out the Utah Recreation website for more details and to see if your machine applies HERE
