Authorizes the establishment of permanent Covid-19 memorials and establishes a Covid-19 permanent memorial fund

This New York bill authorizes state and local governments to create permanent memorials honoring COVID-19 victims, prioritizing input from families and loved ones of those affected. It establishes a dedicated "COVID-19 permanent memorial fund" managed by the state financial officer and parks department, which will hold grants, donations, and investments specifically for memorial creation and maintenance. Municipalities can apply for funding through this grant program to cover memorial costs, with final designs selected via community processes. The fund must keep memorial money separate from other state funds and may invest surplus funds to generate additional support for memorials.
