  • Exempts wheeled all-terrain vehicles owned by a resident of another state from Washington registration requirements, if the vehicle is lawfully registered and have a valid off-road use permit in the other state with the same requirements as the State of Washington, and if the other state provides reciprocal exemption privileges.
  • Requires that to be eligible for reciprocity the equipment requirements for on-road use must meet or exceed the equipment requirements in Washington in order for a wheeled all-terrain vehicle from another state.
