S 6623 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides that certified handicapped individuals may use an ATV on public land for transportation purposes only, during the hunting season

This bill allows certified disabled individuals to use all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on public lands **only for transportation purposes during hunting season**, specifically to enter or exit hunting areas. It amends vehicle law to permit this use while restricting ATVs on public lands to certified disabled individuals (not general public) and prohibiting recreational ATV use. The provision applies solely to public lands designated for hunting access, not for general travel or hunting activities. It does not change existing rules for non-disabled individuals or ATV use outside hunting season.
