Increases width and weight of the description specifics for an all terrain vehicle
This bill (S 7298) updates the legal definition of "all terrain vehicle" (ATV) in New York's Vehicle and Traffic Law. It increases the maximum allowable width from 70 inches to 80 inches and the dry weight limit from 1,000 pounds to 2,000 pounds for vehicles classified as ATVs. The change specifically applies to self-propelled vehicles designed for off-highway use, excluding snowmobiles (which are defined separately). This policy adjustment directly affects ATV manufacturers and owners by permitting larger vehicle models under the law.
