Sponsor's memo

BILL NUMBER:S2952

Title of bill

An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in relation to providing free use of state parks to family members of deceased military

Purpose

This legislation would allow family members of those killed in action to receive free park passes.

Summary of specific provisions

Section 1 adds a new section to allow family members of those killed in action to receive free park passes.

Justification

The families of those killed in action go through a grieving process that none of us can imagine. As individuals who are killed in action do not receive a DD214, the family is unable to apply for a free parks pass; this legislation seems to remedy that problem. This legislation is only a mere token of what the State of NY owes these families, and their loved ones who died in service of this state and country.

Prior legislative history

2013-14 - S.301/A.7507 - CULTURAL AFFAIRS, TOURISM/Veterans

Effective date

This act shall take effect on the 60th day.
