BILL NUMBER:S6305
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the powers and duties of the Historic Hudson-Hoosic Rivers Partnership
Purpose
Expands the powers and duties of the Historic Hudson-Hoosic Rivers Partnership to include the power to adopt and use a seal; to appoint and remove officers, agents and employers and determine their qualifications, duties and compensation; to acquire, hold and dispose of real property, to construct or cause to have constructed necessary facilities, including paths and trails, a visitor education center, and related parking areas within the reserve, to retain or employ counsel, private consultants and independent contractors; and to make and execute contracts and all other instruments necessary for the exercise of its powers and duties pursuant to this article.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends section 42-0107 of the Environmental Conservation Law by renumbering subdivision 13 to 16 and adding subdivisions 13-15.
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 northern Hudson River and 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 currently in the process of partnering with the Federal Government to construct a regional gateway visitor center and has already helped to preserve hundreds of acres of important farmland and open space. Allowing the partnership these new powers and duties will ensure that it can continue to fulfill its public mission.
