 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. JONES -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Development

 AN ACT to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, the
 vehicle and traffic law, the state finance law and the environmental
 conservation law, in relation to the creation of an ATV recreation
 fund and the use of ATVs

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent and purpose. In order to best organize
 2 and sustain an environmentally sustainable statewide system of trails
 3 for all terrain vehicles, the legislature hereby creates an ATV recre-
 4 ation fund. The control and supervision of the recreation fund shall be
 5 maintained by the office of parks, recreation and historic preservation
 6 upon consultation with the department of environmental conservation. The
 7 recreation fund is created for the purpose of designating state, munici-
 8 pal and private lands as part of a statewide network of ATV trails. Fees
 9 obtained by the office of parks, recreation and historic preservation
 10 for the maintenance of the recreation fund shall be divided between
 11 administration, enforcement, and a motorized access program for people
 12 with disabilities. It is the purpose of this act to promote the safe
 13 and proper use of all terrain vehicles for recreation and commerce in
 14 this state by encouraging their use and development, while minimizing
 15 detrimental effects of such use upon the environment and also promoting
 16 access to all regardless of ability.
 17 § 2. Title D of the parks, recreation and historic preservation law is
 18 amended by adding a new article 26 to read as follows:
 19 ARTICLE 26
 20 ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE RECREATION FUND
 21 Section 26.01 Rules and regulations.
 22 § 26.01 Rules and regulations. The department shall promulgate regu-
 23 lations for the use of ATVs with a view towards achieving maximum use of
