Relates to the definition of all terrain vehicle or "ATV"
This bill amends New York's definition of "all terrain vehicle" (ATV) to include vehicles up to 70 inches in width and 1,500 pounds dry weight. It specifically expands the current definition by adding length as a new parameter while maintaining existing width and weight limits. The change directly affects ATVs meeting these updated specifications, excluding snowmobiles and other vehicles designed exclusively for snow/ice travel. The amendment clarifies regulatory boundaries for these vehicles under state law.
