Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in relation to reduced campsite fees for persons sixty-five years of age or older
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this bill is to enable more seniors the opportunity to enjoy our State Parks through reduced camping fees.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would reduce the overnight camping fee for persons sixty-five years of age or older in New York State Parks to five dollars.
Justification
Most seniors live on fixed incomes and need price breaks in order to afford leisure activities. The registration fees and daily charges for a camp site now total approximately $20. Providing a reduced rate would allow more seniors to be able to enjoy camping in the State Parks.
