Bill > A06888

This bill amends the New York State Executive Law to add Fishkill Creek to the existing list of major creeks in the state's definition of inland waterways. Currently, the law maintains a comprehensive list of 18 Mile Creek, Chittenango Creek, and numerous other creeks located in various counties across New York State. By inserting "Fishkill Creek" into the existing paragraph, the bill officially recognizes this creek as part of the state's significant waterways, specifically noting its location in Dutchess County. This modification allows Fishkill Creek to be included in official state records and potentially provides it with the same recognition and potentially similar protections or considerations as the other creeks currently listed in the law. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, meaning the change to the executive law will be implemented right away.
