State Law Governs Vehicle Use on Federal System Unit Roads.

This bill changes traffic rules on federal roads, such as those found in national parks. Instead of federal regulations, drivers must now comply with the motor vehicle laws of the state where the federal unit is located, including rules for off-highway vehicles. This aims to create consistency, ensuring that driving rules and vehicle definitions align with the surrounding state law, simplifying compliance for citizens.
