S 1835 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the solicitation of donations on state highways

This bill restricts soliciting donations on state highways outside city or village boundaries, allowing only fire companies, ambulance services, or tax-exempt organizations (501(c) groups) to do so. It requires highways to have a speed limit of 30 mph or lower and permits towns to prohibit solicitation through local laws. The law applies to individuals aged 18 or older acting on behalf of these permitted groups. Local ordinances can override this state law, meaning towns may ban solicitation even if the bill’s conditions are met.
