BILL NUMBER:S4227
Title of bill
An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to expenditure of moneys of the open space account in the environmental protection fund
Purpose or general idea of the bill
Authorizes the use of monies in the Open Space Account of the EPF for the support of the Historic Hudson-Hoosic Rivers Partnership.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends paragraph (d) of subdivision 6 of section 92-s of the State Finance Law, as amended by section 13 of part E of chapter 61 of the laws of 2000.
Justification
The Historic Hudson-Hoosic Rivers Partnership is a public benefit corporation created by an act of the legislature in 2006 with the mission of preserving, protecting and promoting the natural, farmland, and heritage resources of the northern Hudson River and the Hoosic River watersheds. The Partnership is made up of over 20 local municipalities, state agencies, not-for-profits and the National Park Service and continues to work to fulfill its mission through its partners. The Partnership is constructing a regional gateway visitor center and has already helped preserve hundreds of acres of important farmland and open space. Allowing the Partnership to receive funds through the EPF will ensure that the organization can continue to fulfill its public mission.
