Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to setting conservation goals for the state and including efforts to combat the biodiversity and climate crises in the state's land acquisition policy; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof
AI Summary
This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to set a goal for New York State to support and contribute to national efforts to conserve at least 30% of U.S. lands, inland waters, and ocean areas by 2030. The bill directs the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to develop strategies and a methodology to achieve this goal, including coordinating with the state land acquisition plan, prioritizing water source and biodiversity protections, expanding equitable access to nature, and considering economic and climate resilience factors. The bill also requires the state to prepare a draft plan and hold public hearings, and to submit the plan and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature every three years.
