BILL NUMBER:S4374
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 372 of the laws of 2008, amending the parks, recreation and historic preservation law relating to establishing the Niagara Falls underground railroad heritage commission, in relation to the effectiveness thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill will change the date when Article 43 of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation law expires to allow the Commission to initiate implementation of the management plan approved pursuant to Article 43 of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation law.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends Section 3 of Chanter 372 of the Laws of 2008 to extend Article 43 of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law to December 31, 2017.
Justification
The Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Commission was designated as part of New York's system of heritage areas in 2008. The Commission encompasses the City of Niagara Falls, in Niagara County. The importance of the Commission's mission to develop the heritage corridor to function as a destination for both academic research and tourism is imperative. The Commission's management plan was approved by the Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation on July 3, 2012. This legislation would give the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Commission additional time to assist local agencies with the initial implementation of the management plan.
