The third and final reading of the ordinance allowing the operation of all-terrain or off-road utility vehicles on portions of Washington County roads was approved on a 3 to 1 vote at yesterday’s Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting. The ordinance will be in effect after it is officially published. ATVs will be permissible on county secondary roads and the paved shoulders of paved secondary roads.

Anyone born after 1995 is required to pass an Iowa DNR approved ATV education course before operating the vehicles on county roads.
