AI Summary
This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to prohibit the lease of state forests, reforestation areas, wildlife management areas, and unique areas for the purpose of gas production. The existing law allowed the exploration, development, and production of gas in state-owned lands, except for state park lands, the marine and coastal district, and the lands under the waters of Lake Ontario or along its shoreline. This bill expands the list of prohibited areas to include state forests, reforestation areas, wildlife management areas, and unique areas.
