Bill > S08436

This bill provides a specific, time-limited exemption to existing regulations that would normally prohibit commercial sales at the John Brown Farm State Historic Site in North Elba, Essex County. The legislation allows the Department of Environmental Conservation and/or the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to permit book sales and related item sales during the Adirondack Family Book Festival on August 16, 2025. The sales will be subject to reasonable restrictions, permit requirements, conditions, and fees. The bill is designed as a temporary measure, taking effect immediately and automatically expiring on August 17, 2025, which means the commercial sales exception is only valid for a single day. This narrow scope suggests the bill is intended to support a specific local cultural event while ensuring that any commercial activity at the historic site remains closely regulated and temporary.
