Bill > S00275

This bill establishes criteria for designating "blighted property" and "blighted areas" under the eminent domain procedure law. It defines blighted property and areas, and amends the definition of "substandard or insanitary area" by removing the words "slum" and "deteriorated or deteriorating." The bill also requires condemnors to make specific findings when taking action against a property or area to remedy blight, and provides exceptions to the definition of blighted property or area. Additionally, it amends the New York State Urban Development Corporation Act to incorporate the new definitions of blight, and makes conforming changes to the General Municipal Law.
