Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to requiring that operators of limited use motorcycles receive rules of the road pamphlets

AI Summary

This bill requires that every person operating a limited use motorcycle (a specific type of motorcycle with restricted use) in New York State must be provided with an informational pamphlet upon registration. The pamphlet must be published in the ten most commonly spoken languages in the state and include comprehensive details about rules of the road, specifically covering speed limits, permitted riding locations, and the potential consequences for not following these rules. The goal is to ensure that limited use motorcycle operators are well-informed about legal requirements and potential penalties before they begin riding. The bill will take effect 60 days after becoming law, and state agencies are authorized to prepare the necessary regulations in advance of the effective date. By mandating this educational material in multiple languages, the bill aims to improve safety and compliance among limited use motorcycle operators by providing clear, accessible information about their legal responsibilities.
