Bill > S01723

This bill amends the New York State Executive Law to add Doodletown Brook in Rockland County to the list of inland waterways eligible for the local waterfront revitalization program. The local waterfront revitalization program is a state initiative that helps communities preserve, enhance, and develop their coastal areas and waterfront resources. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of law that enumerates specific creeks and brooks that are included in this program, inserting "and brooks" to broaden the language and then specifically adding "Doodletown Brook located in Rockland county" to the existing list of waterways. By adding this brook to the list, the legislation ensures that Doodletown Brook can now be part of local efforts to revitalize and protect waterfront areas, potentially making it eligible for state funding, environmental protection measures, and community development initiatives. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law.
