 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 2222 of the vehicle and traffic law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 15 to read as follows:
 3 15. Registration of snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles to be used as
 4 farm vehicles. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
 5 contrary, a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle may be registered as a
 6 motor vehicle in accordance with the provisions of subdivision thirteen
 7 of section four hundred one of this chapter, where the owner of such
 8 snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle has caused to be filed by mail or
 9 otherwise, with the commissioner or with any agent of the commissioner,
 10 an application for registration of such snowmobile or all-terrain vehi-
 11 cle, addressed to the commissioner, and on a blank form to be furnished
 12 by the commissioner for that purpose, containing the information
 13 required by subdivision thirteen of section four hundred one of this
 14 chapter. The commissioner or agent shall make such investigation, as the
 15 commissioner or agent shall determine necessary, and if satisfied that
 16 the snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle is to be operated exclusively as a
 17 motor vehicle as provided by subdivision thirteen of section four
 18 hundred one of this chapter shall, upon the payment of a fee of one
 19 dollar, assign to such snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle a distinctive
 20 number and issue and deliver to the applicant a set of number plates and
 21 a certificate of registration in such form as the commissioner shall
 22 prescribe, indicating the extent to which the snowmobile or all-terrain
 23 vehicle registered may be operated on the public highways and such snow-
 24 mobile or all-terrain vehicle may be operated only as so indicated.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
