A 7601 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Extends the expiration date of free one day admission to the zoological park

This bill extends the expiration date for free one-day admission to the New York Zoological Park from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2030. It directly affects visitors who currently qualify for or may use this free admission benefit. The bill amends a 1991 law governing the New York Zoological Society by updating the expiration date in Section 3 of the statute. This change ensures the free admission policy remains in effect through 2030 without requiring new legislative action. The bill was signed into law on August 7, 2025, after passing both legislative chambers.
