S 4636 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Includes lakes in adopt-a-municipal park, shoreline or roadway programs

This bill updates New York State's Adopt-a-Municipal Park, Shoreline, Roadway, or Lake programs to officially include lakes alongside existing categories like parks and roadways. It allows local governments to partner with volunteers for cleaning up litter in these areas and requires agreements to provide safety gear and identification signs for participants. The legislation also clarifies that local governments and their employees are not liable for injuries that occur during these volunteer activities. Finally, the changes become effective sixty days after the bill is signed into law.
