Bill > A07487

This bill amends the village law to explicitly allow the trustees of the Village of Greenwood Lake in Orange County to authorize golf carts on certain streets that are under the exclusive control and jurisdiction of the village. Specifically, the bill adds a new section (§ 6-634) to the village law that grants local municipal leaders the discretionary power to permit golf cart operation on designated village-controlled streets. This type of local traffic regulation provides municipalities with flexibility to manage transportation options within their community, potentially benefiting residents in areas with golf courses or communities where golf carts might serve as a convenient mode of short-distance transportation. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, meaning the village trustees can implement these golf cart street regulations as soon as the law is enacted.
