Increases width and weight of the description specifics for an all terrain vehicle
This bill amends New York's definition of "all terrain vehicle" (ATV) in the Vehicle and Traffic Law. It increases the legal width limit from 70 inches to 80 inches and the dry weight limit from 1,000 pounds to 2,000 pounds for ATVs. The change directly affects ATV manufacturers, sellers, and operators by expanding the size and weight specifications under which vehicles qualify as ATVs. It does not alter operational rules or safety requirements but adjusts the technical definition used for classification purposes. The bill excludes snowmobiles and similar vehicles designed exclusively for snow/ice travel from these revised limits.
