Purpose

Summary of specific provisions
Sections 1-20 repeal various boards including. Advisory Committee on mercury pollution, New York State bird conservation area program advisory committee, falconry advisory board, freshwater wetlands appeals board, regional forest practice boards, state forest practice board, solid waste management board, state environmental review board. Section 21 is the effective date.
Justification
Historically boards and committees are set up on topics that are of importance to our environment and to New Yorkers. Over time however these boards and committees cease to meet, and have members as they have become obsolete for a variety of reasons. However, these boards and committees still technically remain active and law. This legislation seeks to housekeep some of these board s that have been identified as not currently active, in order to help right size government.
