HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) - A Greenwood legislator is sponsoring
legislation that would require owners of all-terrain vehicle to pay
a registration fee and have information listed on a public log.
Rep. Willie J. Perkins Sr., a Greenwood Democrat, says his
constituents have complained about people on ATVs using county
roads and sometimes causing disturbances. Perkins says there is no
way of identifying those riders.
The bill has come critics, including Lamar County Sheriff Danny
Rigel. Rigel says he'll uphold the law if it's passed but he
doesn't see a need for it.
