HARTFORD – Effective Oct. 1, cities in Connecticut having a population of 20,000 or more and ordinances on the operation of dirt bikes and ATVs will be able to seize them from illegal operators and sell them.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy signed into law on June 9 a bill passed by the General Assembly that allows these cities and towns – of which there are more than 50 – to force owners to forfeit their rides. The machines may then “be sold at public auction by the municipality,” with the proceeds going into the general fund of the municipality.
The bill passed 101-46 in the House and 33-2 in the Senate. The bill as amended and passed may be found here.
