NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A6319
SPONSOR: Woerner TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to "International Snowmo-
bile Ride Day"
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To memorialize and recognize the positive impacts snowmobile riding has
on both family and friends in New York State during the winter months by
naming the second Saturday in February every year as "International
Snowmobile Ride Day."
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Subdivision 3 of Section 168-a of the Executive law is
amended to add "the second Saturday in February to be known as Interna-
tional Snowmobile Ride Day."
§ 2 establishes the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
Winter can be one of the most beautiful seasons, however, many people do
not get the opportunity to experience winter to the fullest because of
weather limitations. The designation of International Snowmobile Ride
Day would be a great way to allow people the chance to explore winter at
its best. Snowmobiling is fun, easy to learn, and for all ages. More-
over, snowmobile riding is a very effective way for families to spend
the day together, for friends to plan a trip to be with one another
again, or for those inside to get out and try something new.
