Bill > A03027

This bill renames the existing Empire State Trail to the Governor Malcolm Wilson Empire State Trail, requiring all state publications, promotional materials, and websites to use the new name. The bill amends a section of the New York State Urban Development Corporation Act to insert the name "Governor Malcolm Wilson" before "empire state trail" in a lengthy list of economic development and infrastructure projects for which the state can issue bonds. This change appears to be a commemorative renaming to honor former New York Governor Malcolm Wilson, who served from 1973 to 1974. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring that the trail is officially recognized by its new name across all state documentation and references. The legislative change is procedural in nature and does not alter the physical characteristics or route of the trail itself.
