Summary of specific provisions

Section 2. Resurrects the provisions of section 37 of the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, as repealed by section 4 of chapter 371 of the laws of 1997, notwithstanding the provisions of article 5 of the general construction law, to the full force and effect as they existed on March 31, 2013.

Justification
The Mohawk Valley's history is unique and calls for a distinctive system of recognition, protection, and partnership to maintain its economic viability. Therefore it is fitting to be designated to join the New York State Heritage Areas System. Chapter 371 of the laws of 1997, amended the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, providing for the formation of the Mohawk Valley heritage corridor planning commission and preparation of a regional management plan. That plan provides for community revitalization and the development of heritage tourism within the region. To date, the commission has implemented the plan for the benefit of member counties, and continues to assist in ongoing community revitalization and heritage tourism efforts.
The provisions of law establishing the Mohawk Valley heritage corridor commission (MVHCC) have expired and this bill would reinstate those provisions. Given the Commission's success and the critical need fox. its ongoing assistance, this legislation extends the Mohawk Valley Heritage Corridor Commission from April 1, 2013 to April 1, 2023.
