A 4418 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to free use of cabins and cottages located in public places of recreation by veterans

This bill provides veterans (and certain other groups, including the blind, non-ambulatory individuals, amputees, and Gold Star families) with free access to state-owned cabins, cottages, and public recreation areas. It removes fees for these specific users, allowing them to use these facilities under the same terms as the general public but without payment. The key limitation is a 14-day annual cap on cabin and cottage use. The policy applies immediately to all state parks and recreation sites covered by the amended law.
