(b) No dealer shall sell or offer for retail sale any ATV, other than an ATV identified and sold for use only in off-highway competitions, which is not equipped with all equipment necessary for the registration of an ATV. 6-a. Registration at time of sale. Every all terrain vehicle defined by section twenty-two hundred eighty-one of this article sold by a dealer shall be registered at the time of sale of such vehicle. Such registration shall be valid until the thirty-first day of August following the date of such sale; provided, however, that any all terrain vehicle sold after April first of each year shall be issued a registration valid until the thirty-first day of August in the year following that in which the all terrain vehicle is sold. Any all terrain vehicle purchased for use exclusively outside of the state of New York shall not require registration at the time of purchase, and the purchaser of such all terrain vehicle shall sign a declaration, provided by the dealer, which shall state that such purchaser understands the conditions under which an all terrain vehicle must be registered and the penalty for violation of such registration provisions. Each signed declaration shall be forwarded by the dealer to the commissioner. The form of such declaration shall be provided by the commissioner to each dealer. 7. Renewal. Every owner of an ATV and dealer shall renew his registration in such manner as the commissioner shall prescribe, on payment of the same registration fees as provided in subdivision four of this section. 8. Indicia of registration. At the time of the original registration and at the time of each renewal thereof, the commissioner shall also issue validating forms in a manner he has prescribed indicating the validity of the current registration and the expiration date thereof, which indicia of registration shall be affixed to the vehicle in such manner as the commissioner may prescribe. No ATV shall be considered as validly registered within the meaning of this section unless a current registration certificate, registration number and current indicia of registration have been issued. 9. Equipment required. No ATV shall be registered, nor shall such a registration be renewed, unless the ATV is equipped with brakes, muffler, spark arrester and tires as prescribed in subdivision one of section twenty-four hundred six of this chapter. 10. ATVs owned by governmental agencies. A registration number shall be assigned, without payment of a fee, for ATVs owned by governmental agencies, or by volunteer organizations if used exclusively for emergency purposes, provided that each such ATV shall display the proper registration number assigned to it. 11. Exemption. No registrations shall be required for the following described ATVs:
(a) ATVs owned and used by the United States, another state, or a political subdivision thereof, but such ATV shall display the name of the owner on the vehicle thereof.
(b) ATVs covered by a valid registration or license of another state, province or country, as provided in subdivision twelve of this section. 12. Out of state ATV registration. The registration provisions of this article shall not apply to non-resident owners who have registered their ATVs in compliance with the registration and licensing laws of the state, province, district or country of residence, provided that the ATV is appropriately identified in accordance with the laws of the state of residence. The provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to a resident of another state, province, district or country which does not have an ATV registration and identification law. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to authorize the operation of any ATV contrary to the provisions of this article.
