New York State recently amended its all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) regulations, making this the recent second law change the state has implemented over the last few years.

By the numbers it isn’t a huge jump, but it does raise the supervisor age from driver’s license age to voting age, which in all fairness can represent a fair difference in maturity and life experience.
