Bill > S04995

This bill directs the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to designate a representative for each environmental conservation region in New York State. These representatives will serve as the primary point of contact for municipalities within their respective regions, specifically to help local governments acquire resources and funding for water-related projects. By creating these designated regional contacts, the bill aims to streamline communication and support between the state environmental agency and local municipalities, potentially making it easier for communities to access financial and technical assistance for water infrastructure and development initiatives. The new provision will be added to Section 15-1109 of the environmental conservation law, and the bill will take effect 30 days after becoming law.
