Bill > S09206

This bill extends the authorization for owners of residential properties in high-risk brush fire areas on Staten Island to cut and remove reeds from their land, allowing this practice to continue until December 31, 2027. This provision, originally established in 2011, aims to mitigate fire hazards by enabling property owners to manage vegetation that could contribute to brush fires. The extension is a continuation of a law that has been previously amended, most recently in 2025, and this bill specifically pushes back the expiration date from the previous end date of December 31, 2026, to the new date.
