A 7917 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for a review process of proposals to alienate municipal parkland

This bill (A 7917) requires New York municipalities to obtain state legislative approval before selling, leasing, or redeveloping public parkland. It mandates that any such proposal must include a replacement parkland of equal size, value, and recreational use - unless the sale is for a utility easement or a lease for a public park facility. The bill creates a formal review process where municipalities must first secure state office certification that their proposal meets these requirements. This directly affects cities, towns, and villages seeking to alter parkland use, ensuring public park access is preserved through mandated replacement.
