BILL NUMBER: S2773

SPONSOR: KRUEGER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the
vehicle and traffic law, in relation to prohibiting the sale of ATVs and
off-highway motorcycles in the city of New York; and to amend the vehi-
cle and traffic law, in relation to requiring the purchaser of an ATV
purchased  for use in the state of New York to sign a declaration stat-
ing that such purchaser understands all laws and regulations governing
the use of such ATV in the state

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this legislation is to prevent the sales of ATVs and
off-highway motorcycles in NYC and increase awareness of the laws and
regulations governing ATV use.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section One creates Subchapter 13-A of the Administrative Code of the

City of New York to prohibit the sale, lease, or rental of all ATVs and
off road motorcycles in New York City and creates a fine.

Section 2 amends the vehicle and traffic law to require that ATV dealers
have purchasers sign a declaration that they understand the State's laws
and regulations governing ATV usage and know they can not operate such
ATV on public roadways, sidewalks, and in the City of New York. The
purchaser must also acknowledge that they understand the penalties for
violating such laws and regulations.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The City of New York does not allow ATV or dirt bike usage on public
roads, sidewalks or highways. Additionally, the City of New York does
not contain any land where a dirt bike can be operated. Despite these
laws, residents of the State continue to operate ATVs and dirt bikes on
public lands. This bill aims to cut down on the number of dirt bikes and
ATVs being operated on public land by prohibiting the sale of such vehi-
cles in the City.

On top of this prohibition, all ATV retailers in the State would need to
receive a signed declaration with the purchase of every ATV that the
owner understands the laws and regulations and penalties associated
governing ATV usage in the State. This is an important step to ensuring
that owners understand what prohibitions exist and reduces the likeli-
hood that the owner will operate such ATV illegally.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2023-24 New Bill

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of January next' succeeding the
date upon which it shall have become a law.
