Authorizes seniors and persons who are severely disabled to use an ATV to enter and exit certain lands for ice fishing
What changed between versions
The bill number was changed from S 7164 to S 7164-A, and the committee referral process was updated to include a recommendation for recommitment.
The title was amended to remove the specific time restriction 'during ice fishing season' and replace it with the broader phrase 'for ice fishing'.
A new safety condition was added requiring that ice conditions be reasonably safe for ATV operation as determined by the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The eligibility criteria for disabled individuals were updated from 'mobility impairment' to 'severely disabled'.
A detailed new definition for 'severely disabled' was added, listing specific impairments such as limited limb use, neuro-muscular dysfunction, and blindness.
The list of medical professionals authorized to certify disability was expanded to include physician assistants, nurse practitioners, podiatrists, and optometrists.
