A 9052 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Grants certain first responders free use of state parks and campsites

This bill grants New York State retired law enforcement officers, firefighters, and volunteer ambulance workers (all New York residents) free access to state parks and campsites. It removes all fees for these individuals using public campsites, parks, and recreational areas, while maintaining standard public access terms like reservation rules. The policy specifically covers retired police/correction officers, firefighters (per state law), and volunteer ambulance members who have served in New York. It does not apply to active first responders or other groups.
