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 United States lands, inland waters, and ocean areas by 2030. The bill requires 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, protecting water sources and biodiversity, expanding access to nature, and considering the state's economic sustainability. The bill also requires the agencies to prepare a draft plan, hold public hearings, and submit the plan and recommendations to the governor and legislature every three years.
