WASHINGTON Coleman, Dayton bill aims to regulate imported ATVs The Senate has approved an amendment that aims to protect Americans from the risks of unregulated imported all-terrain vehicles. The bill, authored by Sens. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., and Norm Coleman, R-Minn., amends the Transportation, Treasury, Judiciary, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. The amendment makes the voluntary safety standards implemented by American ATV manufacturers mandatory for all imported or domestic ATVs distributed in the United States. The Consumer Product Safety Act and Customs Laws agency would be charged with enforcing penalties on ATV manufacturers who fail to comply. The bill helps create a level playing field for Minnesota ATV manufacturers that have to compete against an industry with no regulation, Coleman said Friday. Tom Tiller, CEO of Polaris Industries, and Chris Twomey, CEO of Arctic Cat, issued a joint statement in support of the bill. "This bill is an important first step in the legislative process to make sure all ATV manufacturers comply with safety and training standards, whether the ATVs are made in the U.S. or imported from overseas." American ATV voluntary standards include such things as appropriate ATV engine size and youth ATV speed restrictions. Blatantly ripped from: The Grand Forks Herald
