A 5654 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to registration fees for snowmobiles to be used on frozen bodies of water for sport fishing or for access to hunting or trapping lands solely

This bill exempts snowmobiles registered solely for sport fishing on frozen water or access to hunting/trapping lands from standard registration fees and additional fees under other laws. It requires a distinct color registration sticker for these snowmobiles and imposes a $200 fine for operating them for other purposes. The policy directly affects snowmobile owners using vehicles for these specific winter activities on frozen water, not general recreational use. The bill creates a new registration category with defined eligibility and enforcement rules.
