Bill > S01803

This bill proposes new regulations for refueling all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) at retail gas stations in New York. Specifically, the bill mandates that ATVs can only be filled with gas while they are being towed or trailered, and requires gas stations to display prominent signage informing customers about this requirement. The bill defines a "retail gas station" as a filling station that primarily sells motor fuel for direct vehicle use, and it introduces a prohibition against filling an ATV with fuel unless it is being transported by another vehicle. Gas stations will be obligated to post clear and conspicuous signs explaining this rule to customers. The legislation is designed to potentially improve safety by ensuring that ATVs are not being directly fueled while standing independently, though the specific safety rationale is not explicitly stated in the bill text. The new regulations will take effect 30 days after the bill becomes law.
