This bill authorizes New York City to establish a residential parking permit system in specific Brooklyn neighborhoods (including Clinton Hill, Park Slope, and DUMBO) to address traffic hazards and pollution caused by parking shortages. It requires residents to obtain permits for parking in designated areas, exempts vehicles registered under Vehicle and Traffic Law § 404-a, and mandates that at least 20% of spaces remain available for nonresidents with short-term parking options. Fees collected from permits must be paid quarterly to the New York City Transportation Assistance Fund for transit improvements, excluding administrative costs. The system is limited to the specified neighborhoods and expires December 1, 2030.
This bill provides a partial tax exemption for the City of Newburgh's water filtration plant in Orange County, specifically covering the increased property taxes caused by the construction of a granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment system. The exemption applies to taxes owed to the town of New Windsor, the Newburgh Enlarged City School District, and the Cornwall Central School District, offsetting the $250,000+ tax increase after the GAC system was built to remove PFAS contaminants from the water supply. To qualify, the city must withdraw ongoing tax court cases related to the reassessment. The exemption covers only the tax rise directly tied to the GAC system, not the plant's base value.
Enacts the "build to need act" to meet the state's electrification and climate related policy mandates; directs the public service commission to implement a grid planning process; makes related provisions.
Extends provisions of law relating to the authority of the department of environmental conservation to fix by regulation open seasons, size and catch limits and manner of taking fish from December 31, 2025 until December 31, 2028.
Requires certain construction project contracts with a value of greater than or equal to five million dollars to include siting of renewable energy systems, qualified energy storage systems, or major electric transmission facilities.
This bill proposes amending New York's constitution to clarify state forest preserve land management, not specifically related to the Mount Van Hoevenberg complex as the title suggests. It allows limited land exchanges and infrastructure projects while preserving the forest preserve's core purpose, including: conveying specific parcels to towns for public uses (like airport extensions, cemeteries, or water wells) in exchange for equivalent forest land; permitting up to 25 miles of ski trails on designated mountains; and allowing highway maintenance within strict acreage limits. These provisions require legislative approval before land transfers and mandate that exchanged lands must be equal in value. The bill does not create new facilities at Mount Van Hoevenberg but modifies constitutional language governing forest preserve land use statewide.
Directs DEC to designate a representative for each environmental conservation region of the state to serve as the point of contact for municipalities to aid in the acquisition of resources and funding for water projects.
Prohibits the use of primates in entertainment acts; prohibits the department of environmental conservation for issuing any license or permit that would authorize the use of a primate in an entertainment act.
This law establishes specific rules for the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex on forest preserve land in Essex County. It limits the complex to using no more than 322 acres of forest preserve land for skiing trails and related facilities (like parking and maintenance buildings), while requiring the state to acquire at least 2,500 additional acres of forest land for the Adirondack Park Preserve as an offset. All development must follow Adirondack Park planning guidelines, and the law defines "necessary facilities" (e.g., trails, parking) while excluding unrelated structures like hotels or zip lines. The law implements a constitutional amendment to balance the complex’s land use with forest preserve expansion.
Requires landlords and property managers of public and private multifamily buildings in cities with a population of a million or more to provide notice to tenants on proper protocol for recycling including information on materials that are acceptable; requires the division of sanitation to develop an example notice and make it available on its website for use by landlords and property managers.
