Relates to the classification of historical lands and buildings located within the forest preserve

This bill requires the state agency managing the forest preserve to consider historical classification for any lands or buildings within the preserve that are listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The law mandates that this consideration happen in consultation with the Department of Environmental Conservation when developing unit management plans for these areas. By adding a new provision to the executive law, the bill ensures that the historical significance of these specific sites is formally evaluated during planning processes. The changes apply immediately to existing and future management plans for the affected forest preserve properties.
