Enacts the "ATV, UTV, ROV safe riding protection act"
This bill, titled the "ATV, UTV, ROV safe riding protection act," establishes new rules for operating all-terrain vehicles, utility task vehicles, and remote-off-road vehicles in New York State. It directly affects anyone who owns or drives these vehicles by requiring operators to be at least sixteen years old and hold a valid driver's license, with limited exceptions for minors under parental supervision on private property. The legislation also limits vehicle speeds to thirty miles per hour unless the vehicle is on a dedicated track, while simultaneously creating a formal registration system for UTVs that includes specific annual fees. Additionally, the bill defines UTVs as four-wheeled side-by-side vehicles and clarifies that agricultural or snowplowing vehicles used exclusively for those purposes are exempt from these regulations.
