Section 501.9 - Permits for operation of a snowmobile or motor vehicle

(a) A fee of $25 shall be charged for the issuance of a permit to operate a snowmobile or motor vehicle on flood control lands; provided, however, that no fee shall be charged for a permit which authorizes operation of a vehicle solely on lands owned or leased by the permittee or members of his/her immediate family if the vehicle is owned or leased by the permittee or members of his/her immediate family.

(b) Such permit shall be valid for a period of not more than one year.

(c) A permittee shall not operate any snowmobile or motor vehicle in such a manner as to interfere with the operation or maintenance of any flood control works or disrupt, disturb or damage any flood control works or operations.

(d) A permit shall authorize only the permittee named on the permit to operate the snowmobile or motor vehicle, the serial number and description of which is specified on the permit, in the geographical area described in the permit; provided, however, that a group permit for the purpose of conducting an organized activity may be issued to the sponsor of such activity without requiring names of all the participants or serial numbers and descriptions of their vehicles.

(e) The holder of a group permit shall:

(1) acquaint the participants in the activity of the pertinent rules, regulations and permit conditions;

(2) furnish the department with a certificate of insurance for the activity or with certificates of insurance for each participant in the amount required pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section; and

(3) be personally liable for any damages not collectible as the result of failure to comply with department's insurance requirements.

(f) A permit shall be carried by the permittee whenever operation of his vehicle would be in violation of this Part without it; provided, however, that the sponsor or his representative, present at the site of the authorized activity, shall have a group permit in his possession.

(g) The permittee shall furnish the department proof of compliance with the State minimum liability insurance requirements for the vehicle for which the permit is to be issued; provided, however, if state law does not provide for compulsory insurance for the permittee's vehicle, the commissioner may require a certificate of insurance in the amount sufficient to cover potential damages.

(h) The permittee shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations governing the motor vehicle or snowmobile.
