BILL NUMBER:S7476

Title of bill

An act requiring the commissioner of the department of motor vehicles to conduct a study on the economic impact of all terrain vehicle usage in this state

Purpose

This bill requires the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles to study the economic impact of all terrain vehicle (ATV) usage in New York State.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 requires the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to prepare a summary report on the economic impact of all terrain vehicle (ATV) use and recreation in New York state. Such report shall be prepared in conjunction with the Commissioner of Economic Development and the Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The report shall include information regarding: the number of ATV participants in New York state, the frequency of ATV participation, the amount of money ATV participants contribute to the local economy, the number of jobs ATV participants support, and the amount of taxes paid by ATV participants. The results of the report and any recommendations of the Commissioner shall be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature.

Section 2 provides the effective date.

Justification

All terrain vehicles (ATVs) are an important part of the economy throughout New York State. Many businesses are based on the sale of ATVs and ATV related products. ATV participants travel throughout the State providing vital support to numerous tourism related small busi- nesses, such as restaurants and motels. For many towns and villages in New York State, the activity and revenue generated by ATV participants is a substantial part of their economy. Therefore, to gain a better understanding of the economic impact ATVs and ATV participants have in New York State, it is important for the State to conduct this study and issue the accompanying report.
