Bill > S00279

This bill amends the New York State Executive Law to add Moodna Creek in Orange County to the list of major creeks that are part of the state's inland waterways. The modification involves inserting the word "Moodna" into an existing paragraph that catalogs various creeks across different New York counties. This change expands the official recognition of Moodna Creek as a significant waterway, which could potentially impact local environmental management, waterfront development, and conservation efforts. The bill is straightforward and technical in nature, simply updating the legal definition to include this specific creek. The amendment takes effect immediately upon passage, and it represents a small but potentially meaningful adjustment to how New York State officially classifies and potentially manages its water resources.
