Bill Summary

AN ACT directing the commissioner of the office of parks, recreation and historic preservation to conduct a legal review for the re-designation of Donald J. Trump State Park, in Putnam and Westchester counties to a new name

AI Summary

This bill directs the commissioner of the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) to conduct a legal review to determine whether the agency has the authority to rename Donald J. Trump State Park, which is located in Putnam and Westchester counties. If the legal review finds that the agency has the power to change the park's name, the commissioner must rename the park and take necessary administrative actions such as installing new signage. The commissioner is required to submit the findings of the legal review to the governor, the temporary president of the senate, and the speaker of the assembly within one year of the bill's effective date. The bill emphasizes that any name change should be done with the goal of improving the park for public enjoyment. The act would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the OPRHP to begin the legal review process right away.
