Bill > A07932

This bill amends the environmental conservation law to exempt certain military personnel from paying fees when traveling on two specific memorial highways in New York state. Specifically, veterans (as defined in the veterans' services law), active duty military personnel (as defined in the military law), and other members of the United States armed forces will not be charged a fee for travel on the New York World War Veterans Memorial Highway in Essex County or the Prospect Mountain Veteran's Memorial Highway in Warren County. The bill changes the language from using "he" to "they" when describing the commissioner's power to impose fees, and adds the specific exemption for military personnel. This modification ensures that those who have served or are currently serving in the military can use these memorial highways without incurring any travel costs, as a gesture of appreciation for their service to the country.
